I had a old custom rod from Thorn bros. It was a Dimond back at the end when they were built in China .I snapped the rod in front of the first eye after the reel seat. They built me a new one on a G Loomis steel 25 blank . I changed a few things I think they charged me 25 bucks. That's the only time I've had a problem with one of there roods.

sounds good, but what is there standard warranty policy for their predators? 1 year? 5 year? I'm out of state and hypothetically speaking if something were to go wrong with the rod I would need to ship it back to them.

Currently at work (being very productive, as one could assume) and figured I'd try getting clarification here instead of waiting until im out to make a phone call.

? I thought Predator rods from Thorne Bros were 5 years? At least they used to be. You may want to check again. $400+ rod built on a St Croix Predator blank should have more than a 1yr warranty on it. I am 99% sure they used to be 5ys or more... JMO.

Thanks Ryan, was able to speak with TB yesterday and they did say 1 year warranty and then anything after that has a $75 re-build fee which isn't bad at all considering they are custom.

That is actually a great deal then! In short a limited lifetime warranty for $75....
