Just wondering has anyone taken up the there $150 no questions ask ,hand the broken rod in and new rod on the spot from were you bought the rod. Now the reason i ask is that a number of Tackle stores i have been to ,the return price varies at $150 and even $250 on different model rods.Really had that felling of different face different price.

Used to be $130 - I have taken two rods back over the years and have never had a problem with the replacement system - but I support a couple of tackle shops with my business and would expect them to look after me. (something you wont always get with online purchasing)

Cheers Blood Knot

Cheers John

Yep I have! Trod on one, snapped the top 1/3 off and was replaced no q's asked but had to pay about $180 for a $500 dollar rod.

About a year ago they changed the expeditor rates to vary in accordance with RRP of their rods (instead of being a flat rate). So yes the price will vary. All the G.Loomis suppliers will have a replacement price manual.

So if you intend to buy one ask the supplier what the expeditor is on that exact model (hopefully you never have to use it!)

I had to replace one also , caught a king and he went mental on the boat and snapped the tip off. Cost me $150 but its my favourite light rod so I am happy to get a new one.
