Shoot me a PM if you want his contact info. At least give him a call for a quote.

Cool, thanks for the info.

Turners gave 50% MSRP credit towards the same rod as expected.
Didn’t end up needing the receipt (thankfully), but I’m going to keep better track of the more recent receipt as they did ask for it initially.

Hrm, wierd that it broke off mid cast, dont think I have ever heard of that uless the lure as just way too heavy or something.

I am 99% certain it had been damaged in transport/storage somehow. I was tossing a LC110. If it happens again there may be a problem - hopefully wont come back with another update!
