Scott rods was loosing thousands and thousands of dollars a year, suddenly matching tips, putting on a set of upper guides, wrapping and finishing and shipping them out.
Well,to make a long story, longer.................. if you NOW "break" the tip on your Scott rod, it's still only $25.00 to get a new tip. But, when you get YOUR OLD TIP back..............it's been sawed into two more, pieces, by Scott themselves and when your new tip arrives, it's exactly that............ a graphite BLANK tip, no guides, no windings, just the bare tip.
As mentioned............ "a few, ruined it for many".
that must be only on sawed off tips because it doesnt say anything about that on the scott webstie!
