PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 G Loomis rod on Ebay
and am just questioning did I get the factory replacement warranty wrong somewhere? Don't G Loomis factory rods come with a lifetime unconditional warranty, not 12 months? Or is this because it's a custom rod?
Asked the question and got this reply:-
"This is a custom rod - as such has no association with the loomis company.
It's actually fortunate that I'm offering such a warranty on ebay as it's
rarely done."
So I asked:-
"Sorry -------, but I only looked at the bottom where you said that "This rod, like all Loomis factory rods in the country includes a 12month unconditional replacement warranty. Simply return the damaged rod and have it replaced for $145." I thought all Loomis factory rods carried the lifetime replacement warranty. I must be missing something.
And the response was:-
"Geoff,
You're right actually - the factory rods in the country carry a lifetime
warranty - and the 12month timeframe is within their lifetime, as such they
carry a minumum of a 12month warranty. That is what I'm implying. Thanks for
spotting that though.
Regards

I'd love to own a Loomis rod but I feel I might be missing something here. I'm not implying anything but am totally confused Can anyone illuminate me please?
Regards
Geoff
You can get Loomis blanks out of the States quite cheap, factory direct, but no warranty. Strangely enough the cost of a Loomis blank is about the amount you have to fork over to claim your "lifetime warranty" on your $800 Loomis rod. Strange that.
Hi Geoff,
I bought and wrapped my own quite a while ago now.Upon questioning the warranty before purchase I was told :-
The blank would be covered by a lifetime warranty,But...It would only be honoured if the blank was found (By Loomis) to have failed due to a fault in their manufacturing process.And that loomis could not be responsible for a rod built by those not associated with their company.
Not sure if this still stands today.Or even if I was given the correct information at the time.
I bought it,Built it,And have fished it hard.It is the only spin rod I own,And these days it is rarely used.But it is still a great rod that is structurely sound.
This rod cost me under $200 to complete with Fuji SIC's throughout.
It is cheap to build ya own.And if looked after it'll last a lifetime.
Something just does not sound right about the replies to your questions (from ebay seller not ausfish members). The feedback rating for this seller is only 97.5% which is not that great. It would pay to be cautious.
I think your doing well to have a warranty offered at all from an ebay listing, particularly when that is an unconditional warranty from what i gather from that listing, not a bad deal if you ask me. The seller is in no way obligated to offer you any warranty yet they are choosing to - take it or leave it mate.
Can anyone illuminate me please?
