st croix warranty?

Hi guys just saw Chet's lamiglass thread.


Just wanted to ask if anyone has experience with St. Croix. Just snapped my triumph mf 6'6" about to send it back its around 8 years old and past the 5 year warranty.
is it worth sending it back?

You cheap fools go buy a new rod! lol!

If you go on their website it explains their warranty options. They are extremely fair about taking care of their product. I have had 3 experiences dealing with them about screwups I have created and have come out feeling taken care of each time. I would probably call them to talk it over with them first.

If you're paying 400 bucks for a rod then that sucker better be worth it. I pay for value.  I've never picked up or fished a rod that I've felt is worth $200 more than my value mid range rods ($75-150 or so)  So if I'm paying that much more then they better last that much longer under the same type of use. I won't baby any of my gear just because it costs more money. If I'm paying a ton of money I expect it to last forever, especially if the manufacturer uses a lifetime warranty as a selling point.

Time to buy a new one.  8 years of use, you got your money's worth and  its 3 yrs past the written guarantee.
