You know I was a dummy and broke my 8'6" telescoping rod. Well I called Okuma and there policy is "No Questions Asked"! So I have to send the broken piece, check for $50 and they'll send me a new 8'6" B series telescoping rod. I couldn't believe it. I guess I'll get a tip for the broken one and make it a 7'6" rod. Can't say enough about Okuma. [smilie=2thumbsup.gif]
