RIP St. Croix Triumph!

I was doing my Sunday field casting with my new Emblem Pro (thanks Surfcat), and I decided to make my drop about 2 feet longer than i normally do, and during the loading phase I hear a POP!!!!! rod broke in half.. I'm not a powerful caster, and I was only dong a unitech cast, not sure why it snapped.. Anyway how hard will it be for St. Croix to send me another rod? :confused:

I believe you ship them the rod, and pay shipping and they will ship you a new one. Not positive but pretty sure thats how it works.

[kmw21230]

i can deal with that! if that's all i have to pay I'll be a happy Man....

WOW,was this the 10 or the 10.6 version?

heres what u gotta do, give them a call first, then u send them both pieces or the 4inch section with the model number on it and 25 bucks and they send u a new rod, but that depends on how old it is, triumphs i believe are the made in china models so they only have a 1 year warranty, if its out of warranty u send them 50 bucks and the 4inch section of the rod and they send u a brand new one

my triumphs claim a 5 year warranty

[kmw21230]

it's less than a year old... I look in the 07 catalog and it said they have a 5 year warrenty...

What ounce weight were you throwing may i ask?

[kmw21230]

I was throwing a lacross ball.... i would say about 5-6z.... I fished with that rod last year and put 6 and a large chunk of cut bait in there.. no problems... In my opinion St. Croix underrates their rods.. Even Still a lacross ball should not snap a rod.. :rolleyes:

Believe the new batch of Triumphs has a 5 yr warranty, last year's and prior was 1 year.

[kmw21230]
