Other than a really rough morning and my dad breaking both his rods, an All Star Rod and a Falcon Low rider, and really wet and rough ride back to the boat launch we had a good trip. Anybody know the warranty on falcon rods.

Not sure about the Falcon, but the All Star's warranty sucks, even the lifetime BS warranty....I quit buying them about 3 yrs ago, found that the quality went down from about 10 yrs ago (I think Berkley took them over)....Broke 2 rods in about 2 months, setting the hook on fish, no less.....Academy would not take them back, and All Star wanted to charge a $20 processing fee, plus had to pay for the rod container to ship it in....and no guarantee that it would be replaced.....I will never buy another All Star rod again.......
