But......
What if you happened to pay $40,000 for a car that costs $20,000 to build and put on a lot where it was sold for $40,000 with a replacement guarentee?
Same thing with a flyrod. The cost of replacement is figured into the price you pay for the rod. If you don't ever claim a replacement on the rod, it's just more profit for the rod company.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.....
