bigalcal Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 My friend has a 4 pce Sage rod and he let his daughter try casting and she casted and the tip slid off and was lost in the river. will Sage replace it on warranty or will they sell him a replacement tip? I as wondering if anybody else has had experience with this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishpro Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 don't you mean 3 of the most common Perhaps if you replaced "Sage" with "TFO". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalcal Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Let me clarify..the tip didn't break, it slipped off and disappeared in the drink so there is no broken section to send in. I'm sure they will replace it for a nominal fee. It's a 4 pce so will my friend need to send the 3rd section in to match colour and ferrule? or just the model#?

headscan Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Just go into your favourite Sage dealer and let them know what happened. I'm sure they've all dealt with something similar before. Either that or contact Sage directly: Questions? Contact Sage Repairs: (888) 848-7243 repair@sageflyfish.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiasson Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I've had great luck myself and have heard nothing but good things about the Sage repair department; they'll take good care of you. My understanding is that if the rod is a relatively recent rod that you can definitely get a new tip without having to wait too long but, since you don't have the broken part they might charge you for a spare tip which I think costs a bit.. but they may not. Give em a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
