Rod and blank breakages
Let's be honest — rod breakages happen. Whether it's a tumble on the riverbank, a poorly timed high-stick, weighted nymph strike, or the classic car-door incident, most anglers have a story or two.A blank is warranted as a blank, a Ready-to-Wrap kit as a kit, and an Epic factory-built rod as a factory-built rod.
We don't believe in making money from these situations. Our goal is simply to get you back on the water as quickly and affordably as possible.
For breakages that aren't covered under warranty, replacement sections for current and supported models are available for USD $80 per section, plus shipping.
If a replacement section is no longer available, we'll do our best to help find a sensible solution. At our discretion, this may include a goodwill discount toward a current Epic product.
Goodwill offers are not part of the Lifetime Warranty and do not create an entitlement to a replacement product or future discount.
Epic Studio Built Fly Rod breakages
The cost of a Studio Built replacement section is USD $80 + shipping. This fee covers any section, tip to butt. We prioritise the building of these replacements and aim for a 2-3 week turnaround.
Custom built rod breakages
Your first call should be to your custom rod builder. We'll support them with a replacement section. Any additional costs incurred whilst re-wrapping/building the replacement are between you and your custom rod builder. If you built your rod, you'll have to negotiate with yourself nicely.
Ready to wrap Rod Kit breakages
Replacement sections cost USD $80 + shipping. This cost covers any section, tip to butt - blank only. We do not re-wrap customer built rods.
(when completing the form below please attach photos of the broken section, guides, decals and alignment dots along the rod, we want to get you the perfect match)
