Lifetime Blank Warranty + 50% Crash Replacement
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.

Mushroom-profile tungsten heads made for the ned rig. The flat mushroom face stands a buoyant stick bait straight up off the bottom, and the dense tungsten head keeps that stand-up posture planted — the exact posture that makes the ned rig work on pressured fish.

Technical FAQ
Why tungsten for a ned head?
Feel. The dense head transmits bottom contact far better than lead, so you detect the light pickup bites the ned rig is famous for.
What plastic do I rig?
Short buoyant stick baits and ned worms, threaded straight so the bait stands vertical.
Which weight?
1/8oz-1/6oz for most ned work; 1/4oz-3/8oz for wind, current and deeper water.
Lead-free?
Yes — tungsten alloy, no lead.
