When you break a Loomis, you have two options.

The first option is send the rod back and hope that they dont charge you. They charge when they shouldnt and dont charge when they should...there is really no rhyme or reason to it. If you take the gamble of not being charged you could very well be waiting a while to get your rod back.

If you need a rod immediately or dont mind being charged $65 or so dollars, particapte in the GLXpidator (sp?) program. You call them up and give them a credit card numer and in return they send you a brand new rod. You then send the broken rod back in the tube that the ned rod came in and you are charged $65. If you dont send them the broken rod they charge you for a new rod. It is a great program because you will only be out a rod for 3 days.
