johnD. Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 I'm trying to find info on the warranty without much luck , does anyone on here know if the rods carry any kind of warranty ? Thanks for your time in advanced. Quote
choupique Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Here is a link to the warranty page on Abu Garcia's web site. http://www.abugarcia.com/support/warranties Quote
21farms Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 it's one year. basically, you have to spend about $20 to ship it back to them and include another $10 to cover return shipping of a replacement rod back to you. Quote

It says 3 years on the rods ? And 1 year on the reels.Thanks for the link. Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Any failure of a rod due to material defect would happen upon the initial flexing of the rod. After that, there is either a handling, care or mis-use issue (albiet possibly minor) contributing. Regardless of warranty policy I'd be surprised and disappointed if a rod manufacturer didn't replace a rod that failed first time out for free. After that anything less than full replacement cost by the user is good will. Quote
Diggy Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 I saw a kid on youtube showing off his broken Veritas and someone from Abu reached out to him and replaced it free of charge How are the microguide versions if anyone knows, no hijack Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 I have broken a Veritas and sent it to Abu and they replaced it free of charge. It was about 8 months old too! Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted December 16, 2011 Global Moderator Posted December 16, 2011 Ya know, I was gonna buy one of them but I read so much about them breaking at the tip I decieded against it. Mike Quote
Scorcher214 Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 I have a 7'MH casting and a 6'6MH spinning. Both have been put through a good amount of abuse, shoving them in the car, dropping them on the ground, and I walk along banks a lot so when I walk sometimes the tips get caught on a branch. And also, up against 30" pike and on muskie. Haven't had one break yet. Quote
