Rod Blank Warranty
Rodmaker 247™ Blank Inspection & Limited Warranty
7‑Day Inspection Window
Every Rodmaker 247 blank comes with a 7‑day inspection period starting the day it arrives. During this time, the buyer should:
- Unpack the blank
- Inspect it for straightness, finish issues, or defects
- Flex it lightly
- Confirm it meets their expectations before building
If there is any defect, we’ll replace the blank or issue a refund — no hassle.
After 7 Days / After Building
Once the blank has been:
- Kept for more than 7 days, or
- Built into a finished rod, or
- Cut, sanded, wrapped, glued, or modified in any way
…it is no longer eligible for warranty replacement.
Why? Because once a blank is built on, we can’t determine whether a failure came from:
- A manufacturing defect
- A building error
- A component issue
- A stress point introduced during assembly
- Normal fishing use
After the 7‑day inspection window, the blank is considered accepted and approved by the builder.
Failures After Building
If a blank breaks after it has been built, it is not covered under warranty.
However, we offer a builder‑friendly replacement discount so you can keep your customer fishing without taking a loss.
Summary (the simple version)
- 7 days to inspect → we replace defects
- After 7 days → blank is accepted
- After building → no warranty
- Breaks after building → discounted replacement available
