Loomis' warranty is really an insurance policy with a $50 deductible. They will replace any broken rod, without regard for what caused it to break, for $50. Overnight, no questions asked. You pay for some of this up front with the co$t of a Loomis rod, the rest when you return it. Catch the tip in your liftgate? No problem, they'll replace it for $50.

On the other hand, if the rod breaks due to a defect, it sucks to have to pay a dime. But it's a sure thing and you don't have to sweat having someone judge whether you or they were at fault.

On the whole, though, people seem to love the Loomis warranty.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
