A Yeti bruh? Overhyped coolers... sorry Evan... venting. I believe you work for a newer smaller rod company who probably better tailored their rod service agreement...”nominal fee”... old SageForgot to add one thing: FarBank did just have a big change at CEO (from Yeti I believe) who brought over a whole team that shook things up in the marketing and operations. Might be why there have been a lot of changes going down lately.
I see a "nominal fee" in there. So i'm not sure how much this would change anything.A Yeti bruh? Overhyped coolers... sorry Evan... venting. I believe you work for a newer smaller rod company who probably better tailored their rod service agreement...”nominal fee”... old Sage
For some reason I thought it had listed $50 on the certificate... bought this rod as a young teen.I see a "nominal fee" in there. So i'm not sure how much this would change anything.
That's one thing I alluded to a few pages back: There is often a difference between "official overall policy" and "current rates for service fees." The second tends to change quite a bit with all manufacturers while the first part often doesn't change all that much.For some reason I thought it had listed $50 on the certificate... bought this rod as a young teen.
From what I read the nominal fee is only associated with rods or blanks that have been customized or modified.I see a "nominal fee" in there. So i'm not sure how much this would change anything.
Yep and when they went to a computer based customer account for registry of products a few years back none of the cards I sent in transferred over to my account except one, a Sage Xi3. I registered my new Bolt. Then I called and talked to the lady that answered the phone and asked why some of my other rods (389LL, 691, 896, 990 XP’s and a couple others that I bought from fly shops and sent in the registration card were not showing in my account. She stated that they were still working on that, not to worry, etc. so this was 3-4 years ago perhaps. Last time I checked they still had not updated my account. I guess I could try to re-register them but I’m not sure I could answer all the questions correctly now…..date of purchase? Where? Price you paid? And I’m not even sure I have an account any more with there new re-designed amalgamated web site. I’ll have to try later and see what happens.A Yeti bruh? Overhyped coolers... sorry Evan... venting.

I remember being told back in the 90s that the registration cards were merely to get you on their marketing list and that nothing else was done with them. I do know of several instances where owners of second-hand Sage rods got exactly the same warranty service as would've been provided to the original purchaser. I suspect this practice was changed.. . . I wonder if they lost user information and warranty during the website/repair revamp. If they did lose data of the original owner, then it makes sense why they updated the repair policy as a catch all based upon rod age.
if you can get them to answer the phone... or actually respond to multiple emails requesting a replacement blank... I was advised by someone who knows that this could take months and only if you persist.Hopefully on the outside it’s a bit of posturing as Evan has mentioned to protect the company, but hopefully calling them up will still be the classical Sage that we’ve all known...
