Broken Rod Tip

[phil]

get in touch with st croix before you do anything. I had an abu garcia veracity snap between the tip and 2nd guide last year, sent abu a bunch of pics and info and they sent me a brand new rod for the cost of shipping. then I brought the rod to efingers and had them glue on a new tip, barely changed the action at all. if you only lost a little off the tip take it to effingers and have them glue a new one on if you don't want to diy. prices are very reasonable, pretty sure theyre still a sponsor here.

I usually bust one rod a season-most of the time between the tip & first guide. What do if I cannot get a warranty is remove the first guide from broken rod, glue on a new tip guide & then spilt the difference between the tip guide & the remaining guide & tie on a new guide between the two then epoxy the threading.

I did one for a friend last year & my buddy loves that rod now. He keeps in his truck as his lunch time fishing rod.

If anyone found a 6" spilt RAPALA in the TIGER pattern with a fluro leader & a 2" section of a gray graphite rod tip around the power lines @ SKUNKSVILLE let me know. Would love to get that lure back if the monster that destroyed my pole did not keep it! My bad, should not have used such a light tipped pole @ night in SKUNKY when walleye fishing. Would have loved to at least saw the fish that did that!

for 20 bucks st Croix will send you a new rod. go to their site and you can print a fed ex label to ship it back. I HAVE DONE THIS 3 TIMES WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED. they stand behind their products.

I just sent back a St Croix rod. Depends on eich series it is. $15 to send back, $14 for 2 4' tube from staples that you tape together and ship it back in and $20 check for return shipping if they determine it was their fault. They have several warrantee plans to if it is older, your fault, or you want to upgrade. Check out their warrantee page.

St Croix all day! The rods are reasonable for the most part and the warranty/ replacement plan is unmatched.
