Well thats what happened if you choose to believe or not is your problem I have the new rod so I am happy. And I gusse that also means you don't know Charlie as well as you thought. :-)
A year or so before they moved to Newbedford they had a lifetime warranty on their rods... I own 3, 2 cod and a fluke... Then it changed to 2 years as many people were just abusing the warranty.. Now they offer a 1 year warranty... but they aren't screwing anyone with the lifetime. In fact several years passed and i had a tip replaced on one of my cod rods and they also took care of a jig scratch on the clear...
