I did the same as Winterun. Busted the tip off my G1324-T in my car door. I've had that rod for almost 10 years. Caught alot of fish with it. I took it into their factory store. They rebuilt a new top section for $40. However, the new top section broke on it's first trip, on the first hookset. I took it back. They said they could build a new top section, but it might break again. So they offered me a new Redline rod (9' 4") as a replace-ment. No charge. I got it two months later. I'm still trying it out, but it's a sweet rod that is perfect for coho and steelhead.

Wonderful customer service! That's why I have a garage full of Lamiglass rods.
