Dude y'all are crazy, ease up on jL8200.
Mass produced rod makers and custom rod makers don't have the same warranties.
It's the rod builders choice to determine their warranty; jL8200 was simply returning a broken rod which was covered in the warranty.
IMO- When you buy a rod with a no questions asked return policy your buying at least 1.5 rods with your original purchase price.
They cover the cost up front by inflating the purchase price; and that's why custom rod builders are more bang for buck.
