Last year I bought a St Croix 7'6" spinning rod which I broke this winter fishing on the Pilchuck. I took it back to where I bought it(Teds) and they sent it in. It took a month but I finally got it back. Cost $7.50. Since then I traded it off for a 9' 4wt fly rod(St Croix). this one has the life time warranty. Against defects in workmanship or by accident. So I guess I better send it in.

I didn't break the pole on a fish.It broke while I was trying to break loose from some rocks on the other side of the river.
