Academy rod warranty

[gasdad]

Had a G Loomis rod that broke less than a year after purchase,I sent it back to manufacturer--postage was paid both ways by them BTW. New one from G Loomis sent back to me at no charge. That being said, Academy has changed their policy about broken rod returns because of abuse by certain individuals. Check with them now before a rod purchase as their return rules are not as lenient as before. Doubt Academy will give you another Castaway without receipt so maybe you can call the manufacturer directly and they may give you a new one or one for a reduced price.
