Our rods are better and cheaper. (IMHO)

Do you have unconditional warranty?

What do you fish for. I personally thing a 9ft 5wt is a great all perpose rod and the rod of choice if you only have one choice.

Guys/Gals, HCR sent me a rod 8' 5wt 4piece for the trip I was just on, and I must say, it performed incredibly. It was dropping dries on a dime, very tight loops, and handled nymphs and streams very well..

Report to follow tomorrow. I am very tired.

Do you have unconditional warranty?

Yes. No questions asked warranty.
We have a group buy going on right now also.

 

[BigCliff]

Just to clarify, is the warranty included in the regular price of the rod?

Thanks Big Cliff, that is what I wanted to know. I hate Surprises and small print. I think they should be outlawed (small print that is)

From what I understand you can have a "No questions asked lifetime warrentee" for an additional $35. Yea, Yea, you shouldnt have to pay extra, however, HCR is discounting his rods substatially. So, it shouldnt be that tough to cough up a couple extra bucks.

Let me also clarify on some other things. Within 30days if you not happy, send it back. I will give you a full refund!
After that, we are like Craftsman tools. I don't care how you broke it (just not on purpose), just send it to me and get your replacement.

For what it's worth, If I were in the market right now I'd get one of HCR's 3wt 4 piece rods (I already have a 9' 5 wt. TFO rod that I like a lot). They sound outstanding and seems to be great deals too - I wouldn't hesitate to spent the extra $ on the warranty for what you'd pay for the rod.

Craftsman doesnt charge you for a replacement.

Only thing I could think of that was close to our great warranty!
