Since the Hydros replaces the T3 in their line-up, I'd also be good with that since they are, IMHO, a better casting rod than the T3.

Everything evolves and I think the expectation has to be so when you purchase the rod. It would certainly be a challenge for them to replace an eight year old rod with an eight year old rod.


The GIUDES on mine are TITANIUM, the ones on the new T3's and the HYDROS are Nickel.

I just received notice from UPS that the rod is now there, the associate in charge said she would call me after examining the rod. I will wait and see.

Again, I am sure this can be repaired, but just has me thinking ahead

And for the record, I did make mention, that in the event, this could not be repaired, that I would be more than happy to send the difference to UP GRADE to the Helios....I was told, that was not an option.
