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.
