G Loomis Warranties?

[hoggs222]

I've had a Loomis for about 6 years now. Well, about a month ago, my buddy accidentally fell into it & it snapped just below the first (larger) guide. Do you think that they will honor anything on this. I'm definitely not going to tell them how it broke. Has anybody else ever gotten warranty work through Loomis?

I have 3 times.

I broke one hoisting a bass over the side. My fault.

I broke one setting the hook. No idea whose fault.

I broke one by complete negligence.

Each time I have gotten a new rod.

They do inspect the rod and I believe they prorate the replacement cost based on how they were damaged or the age of the rod. I honestly cant remember.

And they are not very fast at getting them turned around.

My first rod was quick and cheap. The last 2 rods have been slow to get back and more expensive.

I am not all that crazy about Loomis' any more. I do love em, but my tastes have soured with their service over the last couple years.

Don't quote me but I think it is 50 bucks reguardless of the cause of breakage and they send you a new rod.

You can quote me. 2 weeks ago a client kicked the tip of one of my GLOOMIS rods and broke it. I got it replaced that day from a GLOOMIS dealer for $50 no questions asked.

Hoggs...Go to there web sight and you can fill out all the info there what type of rod and model and if you want your rod back in 3 days you can choose the quick return for i think an extra 10 bucks so for 60 bucks you can have your rod in three days they send it out fed ex in tube and send with it a return postage sticker and you give it back to fed ex and return the broken rod..Happened to me last month kids broke tip on my glx and just filled out the online form and had my new rod in three days...

Hoggs,

Gunflint is right. $50 no questions asked at any Gloomis dealer. I've had to do it to a couple of my rods. Although I am done buying Loomis Rods...

Good Luck

I replaced one under warranty maybe 5-6 years ago, was $35 at that time.

Try a Falcon instead.

Try a St.Croix instead.
