Is It Time For A Custom Fishing Rod? Part 10 of a Series

We're nearing the end of this series of blogs on determining if custom is the way to go for a fishing rod. If one appreciates nice things built for them the answer is easy, for others it may take some research. This series should have answered some of those questions. In this post we'll visit about warranties, a important thing to understand.

Warranty is another aspect often overlooked until too late. Typically, a custom rod blank is warranted by the manufacturer, and, if found to be defective, will be replaced by them. Should something catastrophic happen to the rod, parts may be salvaged and placed on another blank, and perhaps even rebuilt to the same original specifications. This is a labor intensive process, and you should not expect the custom builder to repair or replace your rod at no charge. Abuse or neglect certainly is not covered by warranties. Be sure to find out what your builder’s warranty or guarantee plan is up-front as things do happen.
