i had a new wally marshall Speed shooter 7ft break on the first 1lb fish i caught, i called Midway gave them order number they sent me a shipping label new rod a week later, no questions asked about how or why it broke or was the drag too tight, ect. if i was ever asked that question was the drag too tight, not sure i would ever buy that brand again. same goes here if any of my 3 ACC rods ever broke under normal conditions and was asked if the drag was too tight, which i never do anyways. as far I feel ACC is doing well and handling customers fair. i ordered 3 rods 2 7ft and a 6.6 after a day of fishing, i called them and ask if i could exchange a 7 ft for another 6.6 ft. they sent me a 6.6 and i returned the 7ft shipping was paid by ACC both ways.
