I have been wondering about this new warranty for the new rods from Shimano. What happens if your rod breaks after a year of ownership?? Is it some how pro rated or are long time loyal Shimano customers just out of a $350-$450 dollar rod. Used to have a no worry feel using Shimano rods. Now I know S...

Are these aftermarket handles worth it?? What are advantages other than a small weight reduction? I've seen several different brands and who has the best bang for the buck? I guess what I'm asking is do they improve performance or are they just eye candy?

I find only feel this way toward the rods that are 7'1 to 7'3 in length. And fishing big jigs here on the Bend they seem to b...

I like the sensitivity of these rods but I find the power of these rods are off. A heavy seems more like MH. Seems the handles on the 7'3 are short for length ...
