I have to give a major shout out to Orvis for their stand up customer service.
I broke my Orvis 'Frequent Flyer 9 piece travel rod'
Probably 5 years ago. The rod itself is at least 20 years old.
I figured they would not repair it or cover anything because I was a dumb ass and broke it using needle nose pliers to seperate a few of the rod pieces.
Well, they said no problem at all, they will send it in..
Today I picked it up, Orvis in Bellevue.. They actually replaced the entire rod, as well as the travel case and sock!
It's absolutely beautiful.

Yes, I paid $60.00 for the shipping etc. but regardless, it was a $250.00 rod in the early '90's.
Nice people in that Bellevue Orvis store!
