Every new Emerge rod purchased though Emerge Fly Fishing Specialties, is covered by our lifetime, original owner warranty. This warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the rod only, and does not cover direct, indirect, consequential, incidental or any other type of damage resulting from the use of the product. This warranty does not cover misuse, neglect, normal wear, fire, theft, loss, or intentional damage. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state. Emerge Fly Fishing Specialties reserves the right to determine whether to repair or replace any Emerge product covered by this warranty and the right to replace any discontinued models with the newer models when necessary. Colors may vary between original and replacement parts. In order to invoke this warranty, the original owner must send the entire Emerge product, including broken parts or pieces, freight paid and insured to the California address listed to the left.
