castaway
 

Anyone know if anywherein B.R. sells the Deadly Dudley series castaway rods. I have one purchased in N.O. that i broke 2 " off the tip setting the hook on a dink trout last sat. Don't really want to have drive to N.O. to exchange it.

not too sure eman... i got a castaway rod also.... not sure of the warranty... might need to do some research

Might try Superior on Seigen. Does academy carry the DD castaways?

does bowie carry them?

i checked their site, but it doesnt list the rods they carry

Academy should

Academy carries Castaway but, don't expect them to warranty broken ones. They changed their return policy 2 years ago per the manger in Lafayette and Lake Charles (broke 4). Now you have to send them back to Castaway along with $25, along with a shipping box.:pissed: I have bought my last Castaway rod, it is not worth the effort to get a $100 rod fixed when it will cost atleast $50 to send it back. Best bet would probably be to put another tip since you only broke 2".

Eman, If you can't exchange it there's a guy in Watson that builds rods & repairs. Very Good. Give him a shout, I buy all my rods from him & he has done several repairs, not bad on the price. Shoot me a PM if anyone is interested.

I bought an All Star Rod from Academy and had the same issue. I had to go to All Star, Academy wouldn't do any kind of warranty on the rod.
I had to pay shipping to and from All Star and a $25 fee to cover the cost of repairing the rod. Not my kinda warranty.
It broke on the first day I used it.

I don't buy allstar anymore...everyone I owned broke...while casting...poo

academy in BR will take them back
