Wow that sucks man. Don't know about GL's service.
In other news, my buddy has been beating on the trout with the fly rod up north. He caught two fish over 23" in the last week.

That is a bad day, no doubt about it[cry]
It may be able to be repaired, but they might offer a replacement at a considerable discount if it can not be repaired. My friend Mike had his broken when he tripped and fell, breaking it in two. He contacted G-Loomis and that was what they told him.

The one thing I wasnt happy with was the dealer I got my loomis from wouldnt even warranty it and he had like 10 of the same rod in stock. Still had wait for the rod from the manufacturer. What's the difference to them, Why won't loomis work with their vendors better? That put me out of commision right before heading up north for a trip. I wound up buying a new rod for my trip. I wasnt to thrilled with that, especially after paying $600. for just the rod.
But on the bright side, they were fairly quick with sending out a new one and they paid the shipping to me and to send the broken one back.

They are very good with the expeditor warrantee. You could have had it shipped to where you were staying. It's usually 2 days shipping to get there with an overnight option I think. I agree that the dealers should be able to give the warrantee out too, but there's probably too much other BS that would be involved. I think it's fine to deal with them direct.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN
chicks dig me....it's the size of my head[hihi]
That sucks[down][down][down]. When you plunk down the money for a G. Loomis you expect to be purchasing extraordinary service as well. I have returned 3 Lamigl [no swearing please] Inshore Classic rods that I snapped while setting hooks overaggressively and they have been replaced with in stock rods with no questions asked. I recently broke another one during my trip to Costa Rica and need to exchange that one as well. I've learned that the rods suck, but at least they stand by their product[hihi]

if you ever get a chance pick up a lamigl [no swearing please] and flex it all you hear is cracking. I went to buy one a couple months ago and didnt like the noise it made
It's the most bizarre thing. I snapped two at the Shrewsbury Rocks fluking, one in Florida fishing the reefs and one in Costa Rica on the reefs as well. The rods were all 8-17 lb, I think. I obviously torqued them pretty good but not to the extent that I would expect them to break! I also had super braid on each of them so there was obviously no give there. The reason I keep replacing them is that I went out and purchased a bunch of them to match up with my Avets and now I don't want a bunch of mix matched stuff. I love the sensitivity of the things but they just don't hold up.
