    I swear to Zeus, some of y’all must be looking for an excuse to argue about ANYTHING. The harder you try to make your point the sillier you look.

    I know right? And I swear this site is getting worse and worse in regards to the bickering and mainly judging others.

    I’m going to start a thread about how I love Christmas and watch the hate roll in.

    A friend of mine recently shut his brand-new TaylorMade driver in the door of his car, denting the head of the golf club.
    His response? “My fault for doing that, I think I’m out 450 bucks.”
    TaylorMade’s response? “We’ll replace it for 30 bucks.”

    He understands that they have no reason to replace the club and so he didn’t expect it. TaylorMade understands that they’re giving him something that’ll mean years of future purchases and the good impression on everyone he tells.

    Stop expecting things you don’t deserve and treat others better than they deserve!

    Lots of manufacturers have a accidental breakage cover. And they give you a new

    yup – basically insurance described as a “warranty”. If it’s clearly marketed as such then it should be used and honored. If it was unofficially honored as such but marketed as a basic lifetime warranty, then I personally wouldn’t take in something I broke through my own fault.

    Broke a lightly used St Croix setting the hook on a fish. Called to check and it was still under warranty which it was. While talking with the customer service woman I said it’s only the second rod I’ve ever broken and the first was my fault. She asked it it was also a St Croix and if I still had it. I did. Long story short ship it back with my warranty rod and they will replace it for $55

    I wonder how many manufacturers with warranties would replace your rod at a reduced if you called and admitted it was your error? I bet many of them would, it’s worth a shot.

    Gets me to thinking, hmmm how many of those rods high end $$$ rods have they sold
    vs how many people use the warranty?
    There seems to be a large profit margin built in to final cost of the product.
    Makes me believe they have the financial wherewithal to replace my rod if I personally damage it.
    After all that was part of their marketing strategy.

    Have a warranty product- Use the manufacturers warranty
    Drown out the noise from others
