Fly Rod Broken During Shipping

Sent a Sage Rod back to them for some repair, broken rod tip. I sent the item 6 weeks ago. It came in the mail yesterday, obvious damage to the outside of the package, it had been “repaired” with tape. Open the package to see the rod tube with a huge dent in the side from where the shipping tube had been crushed. Open the rod tube to find a 2 piece rod in 4 pieces. Awesome, Thanks FedEX, in the middle of a claim process to get them to fix the damage. Wasn’t happy to see such neglect in the shipping process.

Dude, FedEx is the worst… We had a 1-pc Hardy rod that was bent almost in half… and they said it wasn’t their fault… When you ship it back ship it in a solid sch40 PVC tube… it cost more but it is harder to break…

Its been my experience that both baggage and freight handlers absolutely despise fly rods and will stop at nothing to destroy them…
