I’ve got a question for any of the rod builders out there… I have a Orvis TLS where has the top 1/3rd of the grip has separated from the rest of cork, and is basically free to spin around the rod.
Look, I have been against sending rods or products back that people just wear out ever since I toured Simms’ factory and saw the stuff that people *expected* them to replace.
Thanks guys, it is going in regardless, i am just hoping it falls under the “replace” and not “repair” part of the warranty. I’ve had the rod 3 years i think, and almost immediately it developed a sqeak in the grip, and in the last year it has come completely loose. I have tolerated it long enough, and now its time to get it fixed.
I was actually thinking about a car door, Carter. I’m not sure i could bring myself to do that though, kinda goes against how i was raised. I watched one time as an Orvis guide, who isn’t a guide anymore, broke a (already broken) rod in 4 pieces over his knee in front of the shop he worked at. “Just want to make sure they replace this thing and don’t try to fix it” he said.
I read the same thing in regards to getting a T3 for a TLS, i think it was on this site.
