Is it really worth it?

Thanks for the info.
I do like the rod I have now it's got enough backbone for a large fish,it cast pretty good not that I need to cast to far except certain areas and situations.The rod is kind of heavy after awhile, and I do have smaller and lighter rods.I checked out a couple of the gloomis and lamiglass rods they are both very nice.So the gloomis are warantied for life?
I have a truck and bring my fishing gear with me every were when i'm traveling for work and need to be able to put it in the cab of my truck, some of the areas I work are not very safe and thats why I need a 2 piece.I wouldn't be purchasing a new rod till winter. I just can't afford one right now with the price of gas and the traveling I do, mostly traveling for fishing.
Thanks again for the info

Loomis' warranty is really an insurance policy with a $50 deductible. They will replace any broken rod, without regard for what caused it to break, for $50. Overnight, no questions asked. You pay for some of this up front with the co$t of a Loomis rod, the rest when you return it. Catch the tip in your liftgate? No problem, they'll replace it for $50.

On the other hand, if the rod breaks due to a defect, it sucks to have to pay a dime. But it's a sure thing and you don't have to sweat having someone judge whether you or they were at fault.

On the whole, though, people seem to love the Loomis warranty.
