gooose and lead thrower seem to have warranty questions about Loomis, heres my .02 cents
This is from G.LOOMIS 2002-2003 rod catalog.
G.LOOMIS LIMITED WARRANTY

discretion, be repaired or replaced for a nominal fee.Naturally, you will receive a complete estimate before any repairs are preformed."

G.LOOMIS XPEDITOR SERVICE
"A broken rod will never have to keep you off the water again.With the G.Loomis Xpedditor service you can get a brand new rod to replace a broken one, delivered to your doorstep in just two days.Even if your on a trip away from home(any where in the U.S.).No questions asked, no waiting around for warranty claims. this saves you the usual hassle and expense of packaging, insuring and mailing your broken rod. Plus, you avoid any and all warranty fees for the rod repair.

Here's how it works. Contact our service department and request the G.Loomis Xpeditor Service. Pending stock availability, we will ship
you a current replacement rod via UPS 2nd Day delivery.Then, when you receive your new rod, simply remove it from the shipping tube, place the broken rod into the shipping tube, and affix the pre-paid UPS shipping label provided. Once you hand off the package to UPS, you're done and back on the water. The cost: $50.00 charged to your credit card. Demo rods are excluded from this program. This service is faster, cheaper and more " user-friendly" than any other option available (Except maybe avoiding breakage altogether)".

I don't know what lami's, or alstar or rainshadow's warranty are, but this is G.Loomis
and it's a good one......great service too laugh
