Wow! A Lamiglas that breaks? Big surprise!

I used to work for a sporting goods store and we used to laugh everytime someone purchased a 1000 series rod. "Oh yeah! He'll be back." We always tried to steer customers towards different brands after Lamiglas changed their return policy. It used to be you could take the broken rod in one hand and give them a new one with the other, no questions asked. Obviously that was too expensive because the rods do break.

I suggest investing in a company that honors their warranty- G Loomis would be my first choice, but a buddy of mine has also had excellent service from Rainshadow and TH.

Good luck!
