Return Policy

Warranty Claims

  1. If a Grandt fishing rod is broken in any way, fishing or otherwise, ship that rod to Grandt Industries at the address below. Include a letter of explanation, your name, address and phone number along with a check for Processing/Shipping charges in the amount of $45.00. No warranty will be processed without following these guidelines.
  2. Grandt Rods will then replace or repair your fishing rod and return it to you as soon as possible. NO warranty will be processed without prepayment of the $45.00, per rod. (This fee may change with current freight and handling conditions, and no warranty will be processed without the current rate). If Grandt Industries is in receipt of a warranty fishing rod not accompanied by a check or money order you will receive notice of the balance due. If a check, money order or credit card number is not received within 60 days, the warranty on that fishing rod will be null and void. A 2.5% charge will apply to any warranty processed by credit card.

    Send your fishing rod to:
    Grandt Industries
    203 South Highland Avenue
    Arlington Heights, IL 60005

  3. Blatant abuse will void this warranty. This warranty does not apply to rods broken by airline or freight carriers. Split Bamboo Rods are not covered under this warranty.
  4. Rod damage may happen as a result of material failure. However, some failure is the result of poor technique, otherwise known as stupid things fishermen do. For instance, habits such as high-sticking (grabbing the blank above the grip), over-stressing (spooling up with heavier line than that for which the rod is rated) and over flexing the tip (dead-lifting fish into the boat while the rod is straight up and down) can damage rods. There’s external compression (being crushed by rod locker lids, trunk and doors, or being stepped on) that can also do damage to rods. The manufacturer is well aware of these possibilities and is able to accurately diagnose them. SignatureFishingRods.com and the manufacturer will do our best to keep you, the customer, happy.
