Rarely post because I have very limited fishing time or much to contribute but just wanted to relate my experience today with Fetha-Styx.
Bought a 9'6" spinning rod about 2 years ago and just last week broke the tip section while out on my boat threading the line.
No reciept. No warranty registration.
Decided rather then mail it in to see what the repair would cost I'd drop it off during my lunch hour.
The receptionist took it and said after lunch soemone would take a look at it and get back to me.
Before I got back to my office she called to ask if I wanted my new rod sent to me or I wanted to pick it up.
No charge.
I went in fully expecting to pay for repair and was pleasantly surprised to say the least.
Hats off to Fetha-Styx!
