Since we have discussed at length (and very heatedly at times) the subject of different rod manufacturer's warranties I thought I would share my experiance with All Star. First and foremost I am not a rep, just another consumer. I purchased an All Star 1083S from Superfly in the fall and I must say that it was very comparable in sensitivity to the IMX 1082S Loomis that I replaced it with (the Loomis was an overstock from D & E rods, no warranty and it broke in Sept). The All Star broke just above the ferrule on the Cow around the first of the year. I sent the rod back to the factory, they received it on the 21st Of Jan. I just received my new replacement rod in the mail, no questions asked on Thursday of this week. I did have to pay for the shipping which ended up costing $30 total.
I must say that I'm pleased with the service and just wanted to share this with anyone who is considering purchasing an All Star rod. If you can't find them at your local tackle shop I know that Superfly (Joe) and Kid Sauk (Justin) are reps and can hook ya up.
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff
