I actually snared him out of the bubble weed with one hand Wade Boggs style and got him on the hook after a bit of a struggle. Within seconds of hitting the water a 27# fish engulfed him.   |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Great rods but they do have a history of breaking more often than many others. I don't think this can be argued. Further, Lamiglass knows this and is very "selective" about issuing any kind of replacement blank.
I like the Gloomis policy...they charge you 50 bucks and you get a tube in the mail the next day with a new rod in it. You then put your busted rod in the tube and send it back prepaid. Deal done.
For the lower end, many Tsunimi rods have an over-the-counter replacement policy and I hear shimano is doing this with their new surf rod blanks which they say are nearly unbreakable. Lami they may or may not issue a warranty replacement and good luck trying to convince them it broke while fishing if they deem it wasn't.
Further, I think the Arra rods while nice are no longer state of the art tackle. They are decade old technology. A lot has changed in 10 years. I think you will see them phased out.

Good. CMS has always honored the stuff they build. Remember my buddy John who returned 5 or 6 sabre blanks? Ultimately they determined the blanks were no good, but honored the stuff built by them without question prior to dropping the sabre product line. |
