Question Joe's Warranty??????

I have three NorthXNorthwest rods that are supposed to have lifetime gurantees on all of them. Do you know any other stores that sell them and would honor them? Great rods but now that joes is going under I don't know what to do about it.

Any suggestions, information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I think Lamiglass makes them. Call Fishermans marine too.

The old rods were made by Lamiglass, they are now made by someone else. I wanna say WW Griggs, but can't remember as I got rid of all of mine because they broke too easily. They should say on the rod who they are made by. What color is the blank?

You may be SOL since NorthXNW rods were built exclusively for Joes, however the manufacturer might still honor the warranty.

Good luck.

The blank is brown in color but all it says for a brand or manufacturer on it is "NorthXNorthwest".

I did a little more research on these rods and if the blank is in fact a root beer brown color it is made by WW Griggs. Lamiglass made the old gray blanks. From what I have read on other message boards WW Griggs will not warranty any of the NorthXNorthwest rods, Joes created the warranty program on their own. Good customer service on Joes part, too bad the manufacturer won't back it up though... You might try taking it back to Joes and upgrading to a Redington or something. Great rods with a manufacturer that backs them up.

I scored some good fly tieing materials for cheap at Joes. Seems like no one buys fly gear from them... so there's still some good stuff.
