I broke a Calstar 700M. There was a replacement cost of 75.00 for the blank.

Seeker has the same warranty policy. Its limited lifetime against defects. If you lift any fish over the rail on any brand graphite blank its going to break. Lifting a fish is a high stick. You at some point have to go vertical with the rod.

Seeker didnt offer to replace the blank at some replacement cost?

If a blank is defective they usually break in the first few times you use them.

The only company that is giving free replacement is Shimano.

Seeker and Calstar are not big companies. They are losing money for sure on a completed rod with a $70-75.00 replacement. Titanium guides, S glass go price it out.

Lamiglas, St. Croix, G Loomis all have gone to limited lifetime warranty.

I believe the day that Shimano drops its no questions ask lifetime warranty all the other companies will go to a straight 2-5 yr warranty.

If you think about it nothing really has a lifetime warranty. A fishing rod with so many variables going into what keeps it together a lifetime warranty is bad business IMO.

Good Luck.
