I wonder if any of you would change your opinions if you read the actual waranties? I see nothing here that would tell you they will replace a rod that was not defective.

G Loomis:
The GLoomis factory will inspect the rod to determine cause of breakage
For Damage determined to have occurred due to defect, GLoomis will, at the company's discretion, either repair or replace the product at no charge
Lamiglas:
If the problem is due to a defect in materials or workmanship, the rod will be repaired or replaced to you as quickly as possible. If the problem is due to an unfortunate accident, misuse, alteration or normal wear and tear, we will advise you of the cost of the repair or replacement and await your approval prior to proceeding. Please allow 10 working days for processing.
