Thread: JDM rods relating to Panfish

Since there seems to be more interest in JDM rods, I thought I'd make this a sticky thread.

I will leave it open, so feel free to post questions/comments about JDM rods.

Do these rods come with any warranty? Warranty is why on more expensive rods I by St Croix .
On other rods I try to stay under $100 so it doesn’t hurt so bad when one breaks . Gillchaser

From the OP:

Yes they come with a warranty......but.......I have explained it many times in videos and elsewhere. You have to get it back to Japan so it is not feasible to do it. Plus the warranty form is in Japanese should you decide to fill it in and return......I have no current friends who read Japanese. If warranty is important to someone they don’t need to be purchasing gear out of Japan. Although a few I have read about have sent high dollar reels back and they have taken care of it. I’ve broke two JDM rods and have replaced the top section.....both were 2 piece rods.
