Hi guys , just a likkle word of warning , after beaking the top of my fav barbel rod while threading line applying no pressure to the tip yes , it snapped , being nearly new I tried to get a replacement under guarantee , no luck , but was told by my local dealer that greys do an extended warranty to cover this , great i can replace it , duly ordered and advised it was ready for collection , so off i go to collect it , so on arrival I am informed that there is a charge for post packaging and insurance , ok something was expected , but whoa ,

£60-00 . more than half the price of a new rod for a third of the parts , I ended being the fish this time around well hooked , considering that greys are such a well regarded firm I was less than impressed and would advise someone looking for a new rod to go for one with a lifetime warranty, such as those from chub, tfg, or the like , hope this may be useful to some of you ,
