Guarantees: Which would you want?
The threads about guarantees got me to think about this and I'd like to read what you think. This is specifically about rods.
Forget your age for a moment. Shipping & handling fees apply equally in both circumstances. Which would you rather see manufacturers offer: a)lifetime guaranty, b)25 year guaranty, or c)choice, but 'b' gets a 25% discount off list price?
Now, in your own circumstance and considering your age, would you rather see manufacturers offer: a, b or c?
Personally, I'd opt for 'b' and here's why?
- Okay, the discount.
- I'm reasonably careful with my equipment.
- I'm not concerned about manufacturer defects. In fact, I've never known of any on medium to high end rods.
- Neither are transferable so chances are, if I were to buy a new rod, either guarantee would outlive my ability to use it.
Now that I'm thinking about guarantees, how about a guarantee buy-back from the manufacturer based on rod age and condition.
Just some thoughts.
What do you think?
