Oh 4Salt, where are you? You are letting your guard down!
Nah! I just figured that I've said my peace about Allstars enough already.

I like the feel of Allstars, that's why I bought my first one. After breaking 3 of them under VERY light duty (I've NEVER broken a Lami, Loomis or even a Berkley AIR) my confidence in them is shot, that's all.

The over-the-counter warranty has been OK so far. I had 2 (1141s, 1143c) replaced by Ted's before they discontinued carrying them. Like Bossman, I tried to get a replacement for an 1143c at OE. They didn't have one so I waited about a month then finally decided to try a 1 piece plug rod (901). The other models always broke at the ferrule, so I figured a 1 piece might hold up a little better. So far, so good.

It's never been my intention to try to steer people away from buying Allstars, just to let them know about potential problems they may be facing. \:\)
