Production Rod Accident Replacement Program

Let's be honest... sometimes stuff happens.

Car doors. Ceiling fans. T-tops. Boat hatches. Rod lockers. Sinkers. Stepping on one in the dark at 4:30 AM before a fishing trip.

We've seen it all.

While our rods are built to handle fish, they aren't always built to handle everything else life throws at them.

For current production rod models, we offer a simple Accident Replacement Program to help get you back on the water quickly.

Eligible Models

• B2 Series
• E3 Series
• T3 Series
• Vibe Series

Replacement Cost

$50 Flat Replacement Fee

Once we receive your order and photos, our team will contact you to arrange either:

• Pickup at our Baton Rouge warehouse
• Delivery to your preferred participating dealer on the next scheduled dealer shipment

Once your replacement rod arrives, we'll notify you and provide pickup instructions.

No shipping broken rods back to us. No complicated paperwork. No headaches.

Just a simple way to help when accidents happen.

Custom Rod Accident Replacement

Due to the wide variety of blanks, guides, reel seats, grips, decorative wraps, and specialty components used in our custom rod builds, custom rods are not eligible for the standard $50 Production Rod Accident Replacement Program.

If a custom rod is damaged due to accidental breakage, misuse, impact damage, or any other non-warranty issue, replacement or repair options will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

To discuss repair or replacement options for a custom rod, email warranty@zookfishing.com with the same information listed above.
