Blisek16 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I recent bought an Abby Garcia vendetta rod for $30 at Walmart, the only problem is that from the second to last eyelet ( about 3 inches ) is broken and missing! The only ideas i have i using a shrink tube rod repair kit and the end if another rod. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks. Quote
kingkong85 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 The word is that contact abu Garcia and they might replace the rod for you. Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted January 3, 2014 Super User Posted January 3, 2014 walmart will probably replace it for free Quote
jsc4324 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah try returning it to walmart first the the warranty route. It's probably going to cost more to fix then You paid for the rod. Quote
BenBassmaster Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Take it to Walmart ask if you can swap rods, they should let you, but if they don't, call Abu Garcia. They have great customer service. Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 3, 2014 Super User Posted January 3, 2014 Take it back to Wal-mart...........if you have your receipt, they WILL take care of it. If not, Abu will. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Mis-matching rod pieces won't yield a good result. Trade/return etc for something else. Quote
5fishlimit Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Make sure you thoroughly check out the new rod if Walmart replaces it. I've seen kids using rods for sword fights in the store before. 1 Quote
Blisek16 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Posted January 7, 2014 Thanks for the advice, I'm on my way to Walmart now to replace it Quote

Salamander12 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 I bought a 7 foot Abu Garcia rod from wal-mart and about 7 inches of the tip broke off but I can't find the Reciept. I was wondering is there anything I could do to get it replaced? Or am I guessing I'm SOL. im pretty sure I'm SOL but I thought someone else might have an idea what I could do. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted March 8, 2014 Super User Posted March 8, 2014 You can make a return once a year without a receipt. They'll use you drivers license. I did it with a falcon I bought there. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted March 8, 2014 Super User Posted March 8, 2014 You can't repair that rod with any positive results Try and return it to a different Walmart If no joy..... Return it ! Or.... Send it to Abu... Explain it truthfully ... And you will be rewarded. Quote
