It's nice to see this post since I own a cigar shop in Evansville, IN AND the world's largest G. Loomis dealer (also in Evansville, IN). Our fishing store offers a "Zero Cost" warranty on all Loomis rods. Our cigar and tobacco shop is where my office is (surprise!). Any time we can assist with anything G. Loomis or fishing for that matter just let me know. Info on the Loomis rod warranty is here:
