Super User flyfisher Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 I fell in with my orvis superfine in high water. It was recovered a week later by a kid fishing downstream who met me and gave it back(i made posters). The rod was broken and completely gone 6" from the end of the cork grip. That rod was $500 at the time. I called orvis, they said send it in... lol. I said ma'am there isnt much here to send. So I sent it. Two weeks went by and the phone rings. It was orvis telling me they had no blanks of that type to replace that rod any more, it was a 7'11" superfine, the one they quit making in a two piece. They then said, mr hoffman, open our catalogue and pick any rod in the new superfine line and we will send it to you at no cost. I will forever be an orvis fan. Yeah Orvis does do a nice job with warranty as do most of the fly rod companies really. I have replaced my Sage 4wt DS2 more than once and each time it cost me shipping and that was it....i hope i don't break it again though because it has since been discontinued and i fear that i would get a newer version and i love the moderate action of this rod....not to mention it is the rod i learned on and has caught me more species of fish than any other rod in my lineup....

Super User Raul Posted March 25, 2014 Super User Posted March 25, 2014 45 bespoke 3 piece suits, 100 Countess Mara silk ties, 20 bespoke pairs of Trickers shoes ..... Oh yeah, I know of someone that, if fishing were his thing, would, in his right, mind spend a grand in a fishing rod and one would not be enough. I would, the only problem is that I never have that money all together. Quote
