I lost the tip section of my 4 piece fly rod last trip in Dongguan in February. The rod had a life time guarantee. Today, I received the replacement section from the U.S. paying just the postage and a small handling fee.
I wud suggest people to order Bass/Lure Rods also from the U.S. which usually give life time guarantee when broken but no guarantee for lost. They gave me an exception this time only for the lost section. Ha ha ha.............
