Warranty Information

EFF Graphite and Fiberglass Fly Rods Warranty

We stand behind the quality and craftsmanship of our graphite and fiberglass fly rods. Our warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship for the lifetime of the original owner.

1. Capped Repair Fee: Normal repairs will never cost more than $80 plus shipping, regardless of how the damage happened.

  1. Transparency Required: I’ll need to know how the rod broke before proceeding with the repair. This helps ensure fair service and track potential defects.

  2. Extreme Cases: If the rod was intentionally broken, misused beyond reason, or completely destroyed, it may not qualify for the capped repair. In those cases:

    • If the Rod is Beyond Repair: If the damage is extreme—like the rod being completely destroyed beyond repair—I’ll let you know your options. I can offer a 60% discount on a new rod if a repair is not possible.

Bamboo:

We stand behind the quality and craftsmanship of our bamboo fly rods. Our warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship for the lifetime of the original owner. Accidental damage, misuse, or normal wear and tear are not covered under this warranty. For repairs not covered under warranty, we offer affordable repair services or discounted replacements.

1. What’s Covered:

  • Defects in Craftsmanship: Covers issues related to construction, such as improper gluing, poor finishing, or issues with components like guides or reel seats.

  • Defects in Materials: Covers bamboo splitting, warping, or issues with thread wrapping caused by manufacturing defects.

2. What’s Not Covered:

  • Accidental Damage: Breakage due to user mishandling (e.g., stepping on the rod, improper storage, or striking it against hard objects).

  • Normal Wear and Tear: Cosmetic scratches, finish wear, or damage from environmental factors like excessive heat or humidity.

  • Misuse or Neglect: Improper care (e.g., not drying the rod after use or leaving it in extreme conditions).

3. Repair or Replacement Policy:

  • low-cost repairs (e.g., $10–$200, depending on the damage) for accidental breakage or wear, depending on the materials required to fix it.
