7mm Neoprene Rubber Boots | Waterproof Insulated
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.
