I have had two rods break. One (the Cabela's Stow Away) I was fishing the Uinta's when a lightening storm moved in-and FAST. In trying to get out of my tube and the water (plus holding a 7' graphite rod) the line got wrapped around the tip and trying to reel it in as fast as I could, 4" of the tip snapped off. Took the end guide, cleaned it out, put it on the tip and glued it. Gave it to my nephew (no warranty) a few inches shorter, but still very functional. The Other was an 8wt. Orvis TLS. Opened the tube and the tip was broke (don't know how that happened unless someone I let use it didn't put it back in the tube right) Full warranty, good as new.
I do have one of the earlier T3's and at $600.+ I was not happy with the cork, the same with the one oz. superfine, sent them back and they are beautiful now. Full Warranty.
