The warranty situation is what concerns me. I don't think you will be able to return return broken rods for replacement any longer. The date of manufacture is on all rods now, and they are more resistant to replacing rods. They have what they call "fast track repair", $50.00 later!
We just bought a Loomis trout rod for Melanie. Tells you my direction. Bob R

I own 3 1/2 Certified Pros + one of the less expensive models. I was in the market for a new rod this summer. I was kind of bummed they stopped making the Certified Pro and had local tackle shops tell me Lamiglas is not the same anymore.

I ended up buying for the 1st time a G Loomis, E6X. Shortly after getting the new rod I broke my 10 ft Lami (Thus the 1/2 rod). Tried calling multiple times, no luck. They push you to email. Sent an email. No reply at all. It's been 6 weeks +.

I used to stop on my way to Portland. Always bought at least a hat or T-Shirt. Loved promoting their product. Not anymore.

I'll be in the market for a new 10 ft rod early next year. It won't be Lamiglass.

Go to the other side of the freeway.
Edge rods!
Only a nickle more, for first class.

Just to be clear, it would be hard to find a more dedicated LamiGlas customer than me. I have a garage full of LamiGlas rods. I almost always wear my LamiGlas hat when I'm on the river. I've never owned a GLoomis rod. And have no desire to own one.

I wrote what I wrote because I'm genuinely concerned about what I see happening. I support the company based on years of great customer service and great products.

But I remain concerned, even with Tom's explanatory note.

Hey Tom, did you bother to read the above posts? Would you mind terribly answering the above concerns involving warranty changes? Availability of tips or repair of rods that you have discontinued? Inquiring minds (of customers) want to know. Bob R P.S. I've P.M.ed you as well.
