Today was anguish! I broke my favorite most versatile casting rod, and after doing a search on the internet, I came up empty on how to replace it! It is a North x Northwest IM6 Graphite Model IM856LC. Ya, I know it's not a high end rod, but it has done justice by me and I absolutely loved it. If anyone can give me a lead on how to contact North x Northwest, or if they even exist anymore, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Thanks guys, I found the site and they actually have a model listed that is identical to mine except it starts with GX instead of IM. But the sad news is, there is this statement posted under the "Warranty" tab: I was misdiagnoed with Hemochromatosis (too much Iron) five years ago. I was told that I was rusting from the inside out. Three years ago I was re-diagnosed with MDS, blood cancer. We are told that it could be in remission in a year to three or four, or not. Below is a form letter that I have tried to respond with, so my ability to solve problems, find remaining tips in storage, is gone. I am in a hospital every two days getting blood cells and still wheelchair bound, at this point. WW Grigg is not tecnically out of business, but close. Every consider owning a fishing rod company, started in 1953, Possibly "For Sale". God Bless, Dave Grigg (Personal Cell:503-799-4954)
Dear Consumer, I'm sorry, I have Mylodisplastic Syndrome. Blood cancer and have just gone through a stem cell transplant. Through this illness, I had tried to keep WW Grigg alive, but most of our customers are gone now. We ran out of the tips for many of our rods, and what is left, is packed away in storage. We, also, have not been in production during this time, which is when we made extra tips. Many people loved our rods but this dieses, for all intensive purposes, has shut us down, for about the last five years. We still have the WW Grigg website ( www.wwgrigg.com ) and there are some left over rods that can be purchased online. Shipping is within a week, based on where we are, whether hospital or home. Sorry, David Grigg. W.W. Grigg Warranty

WOW....Dave Grigg, I wish you the best......
Bay Wolf......If the rod is your favorite AND you found one close to it, I'd buy two.
Best for both you gentlemen..........
