When did Loomis change its policy? I replaced two Loomis rods in the past (the last one about 3 years ago) and all I had to do was take the rod to a Loomis dealer (Fisherman's Wherehouse) and pay $20.00 to cover shipping. The dealer shipped the rod and called me when it was replaced.

Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous
