Trey Kistler Warranty Promise

Who should file a Claim?

If the graphite blank, line guide, reel seat on your rod should break or fail during its specific warranty period, file a claim form here online. If it is clear to our expert warranty department associate and Trey Kistler that the break was due to manufacture defect while reviewing the claim information such as original registration, receipt, reason for breakage and if you are the original owner then we will repair or replace as soon as possible.

You might be asked to return your damaged rod to our factory for inspection if the claim form information is insufficient or is questionable but in many cases, we can save you the trouble and money thanks to our efficient system. The more honest, accurate and complete the claim form, the quicker the turnaround time is.

The warranty by definition is not intended to cover accidents, abuse, neglect or normal wear and tear. The warranty is not intended to be a 'lifetime replacement coverage' for rods that have outlived their respective warranty proration period nor is the warranty intended to cover "unknown causes of breakage or damage" after the proration period respectively.

Kistler Rods reserves the right to void any warranty claim. Obviously, we can’t cover accidents caused by rod lockers or clumsy feet damages, so that we can cover legitimate claims for valued customers for years to come.

To process a warranty claim efficiently, please completely fill in the Warranty Claim Information Form. Within 48 hours (during the work week) our warranty department associate will be in contact with you via email or phone about your warranty claim replacement options.

Be Aware During the COVID-19 "Lock-Down" our offices have limited staff and we are working in shifts to adhere to the Social Distancing rules so you might experience a longer wait for a response until the virus scare lessens.
