Are warranties leading to unnecessarily high prices for fly fishers and making it difficult for rodmakers to deliver the best product and service possible? Yesterday we received an open letter to fly rod makers from fly fishing writer and insurance attorney Zach Matthews, who believes that warranties on fly rods do little more than burden manufacturers and raise fly rod prices. His suggestion? Look to classic property insurance.
As Matthews says, “Insurance against loss instead of just breakage is nothing to shake a stick at; most people would immediately see why this is a good thing to have.”
