Super User Bankbeater Posted September 29, 2010 Super User Posted September 29, 2010 My Dad buys a St. Croix at BPS on Monday. Takes it out and uses it Tuesday morning. He said he caught 4 or 5 bass on it, then he is lifting one out of the water (he didn't say how big) and the rod broke about 1/3 of the way down from the tip. He took it back to BPS on Tuesday afternoon and they said that he would have to call St. Croix. Now I don't know what was said, but the Dept. manager comes over and says since it was just bought the day before they would exchange it. I believe his new one is a Falcon. Quote
Super User BASSclary Posted September 29, 2010 Super User Posted September 29, 2010 They have some top-notch customer service, and will usually replace it even if it is your fault. Quote
OHIO Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 I rolled a lighting rod up in my window and the tip snapped right under the guide. I took it back to bass pro and they gave me store credit no questions asked. They have some great customer service. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 I can almost assure you that this was BPS and/or St Croix just trying to keep a customer happy. More often than not, there is no inherent defect that leads directly to blank failure. Especially with high-modulus graphite, one should never flex a rod beyond the 90* point. This happens by lifting fish, high-sticking hook sets and grabbing the end to check the action too aggressively. Quote
