Yesterday I broke my Powell into three pieces I loved the rod and would like another, but for the warranty I need to buy a rod tube, ship the rod back to California (from Wisconsin), and pay $60. So I am thinking that is all going to add up to around $90-100? I only paid $100 for the rod when it was on sale so it didn't seem worth it to me, especially with the St. Croixs on sale.
Instead decided to just buy the LTB69MLXF for $115.
