i just checked the lami website. it's a little unclear. my norwest special (i know for a fact) had a 1 year warranty. on the lami site, it states that all of their rods except G200 and BFC (these are the big fish rods) are warranteed for life. the norwest special is in neither of these categories.

in fact, on the G200 page, it specifies that it "features" the 1 year warranty, yet on the nwspecial page it doesn't.
