TLDR: favorite fishing brand rod snapped, they have a 1 year warranty. Favorite fishing is shipping out a new rod at no expense to me.
I just wanted to come here and say that I am very pleased with the Favorite Fishing brand warranty! I purchased their Dedender serious MH 7' two piece rod in September 2025. The rod worker great for salmon and steelhead during the fall season. I landed kings up to 36" on that rod.
This year I took it in March 2026 to try for some lake Michigan browns and steelhead. Well the rod snapped about 1.5' down from the tip.
Anywho, favorite fishing has a 1 year warranty (keep your reciept!), And they are following through! A new 7' defender rod is coming my way. I did not have to ship the old rod back or pay for the shipping of the new rod.
So hey, if you're in the market for a rod in the 100+ price range, grab a "favorite fishing" brand rod. If it breaks, they have a easy to work with warranty!

Arent these known for breaking
Been using one of their X1 rods for about a year and a half now, I’ve heard their rods are known for breaking but mine was slammed against rocks, branches, ceiling of my room, doors, everywhere really, it fought numerous fish, a couple large catfish where I was really afraid it would just grenade on me but it didn’t, still functions as the day I bought it. My only complaints are uncomfortable grip, it’s decent EVA but could be thicker, I have huge hands and reel seat screws from the bottom where you can, depending on how you grip the rod, put torque on the screw and loosen it.
