Manufacturing defects are free. Every Backwater Outlaw carbon rod blank is warranted for the life of the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship. If a blank fails in normal fishing use because of how it was made, we repair or replace the rod or the affected section. Reels & hardware: manufacturing defects are repaired or replaced under warranty.
Crashes are half price. Rods don't mostly break on fish — they break in car doors, on tailgates, and under boots. Any Backwater Outlaw rod, any accidental breakage, is replaced at 50% off the current price of the same (or closest equivalent) model, once per rod.

Technical FAQ
What does the PVC tail change?
The soft tail keeps moving on the pause and at dead-slow retrieves, where a rigid tail goes still.
Which retrieve works best?
Slow steady wind for the full S-swim, or half-turns of the handle with pauses for a wounded-baitfish glide.
