I had the entire week off. Cancelled my trip to the coast because of the rising H20 on Monday. Still had time to fish the nooch and satsop - all spawners..... Needless to say, I decided to hit Barrier a couple days ago and I packed two rods, one for steelies, and one just in case I was lucky enough to encounter some springers. I got to the river and closed the door to my truck without noticing that my 10 foot shimano had slid into the crack of the door. CRACK! I slammed the door and shattered the top of the rod about 1" from the tip. My only option was my light action lami. I started fishing and picked up a dark steelie. On what turned out to be my last cast, I hooked into what I thought was a wad of line. I started pulling in the deadweight until three feet from my feet it decided to splash and take off. CRACK. My lami shattered right in the middle. I need to replace both of these rods quickly. I know lamiglas has a warranty and luckily I saved my receipt. Can I take it back to sportco and get a new one or do I have to mail it to Woodland and wait for them to send me one? WHat about my shimano. I have no receipt but is it fixable since it's right below the tip? Just one of those days

Take the Lami back to Sportco. They will rplace it on the spot. Dunno bout the Shimano.

Was it a brown Chevy truck, they seem to be less forgiving on Rods. Don't ask how I know that...

Man, you gotta quit fishin' for them crappies.

broke a lamiglas last year sportco charged 10 bucks for ship and handle was supposed to take month and a half to get it back after two months they gave me another rod because they didnt know where mine was a week later they got my original rod in and gave it back to me also

Sportco is pretty good about that. When we took ours back he said we could replace it with the same or use the value to buy a better pole. No problem at all. Pole was 2 months old too and had never been fished. Aparently the midsection was not fully seated when my g/f took her first cast. And snap. This didn't seem to matter though. Sportco rulez
