Temple Fork Outfitters™ Canada Lifetime Rod Warranty

We warranty our rods against defects in materials or workmanship for the life of the rod. Fly rod breakage due to manufacturing deficiencies rarely occurs, so we handle requests under this warranty on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, if you believe your rod qualifies for service under this warranty, please contact us before sending it in at rodservice@tforods.ca

This warranty does not cover shipping damage, breakage caused by neglect, misuse, or accident, unnecessary human force or incorrect assembly, improper maintenance or modifications, normal wear and tear caused by long-term use, loss or theft.

Our lifetime rod warranty applies to the original registered owner. TFO Canada reserves the right to process Rod Service requests on unregistered or second-owner rods. TFO Canada does not offer warranty or broken rod service for TFO blanks, custom-built rods, or TFO rods not distributed by TFO Canada.

We will contact you with alternative options if we no longer have the appropriate parts to service your TFO rod.

TFO rod warranty is limited to 60 days for commercial/guide use.

If you believe your rod is defective due to a material or workmanship issue, please view this article from Tom Kirkman on rod failure and review our Lifetime Rod Warranty.
