Bar fishing up at Gill this past week I hooked into a big Spring ,set the hook and it was on!!! Yeeeeeehaaah !!! Had a good peeler and a burnt thumb ,then turned it into the bank ,then it happened , " BANG" SON OF A #$%^&* . MY ROD EXPLODED . Tried to keep it on with half a pole , with the top half running away down the line . The springer came up and rolled over ,spat the hook !! .
Now , I want to head back and giver another go but I'll have to go purchase another rod .
I think I found the receipt from the rod I had but it's so faded I'm not sure if its the right one . Purchased from Reaction tackle .
My question is . Is the distributer for Trophy rods still in Burnaby ?and do they warranty the rods .
Mine is,was a 12 ft. Heavy Casting

I had one right out of the wrapper do that on  a cast, lol, I just took it back and they replaced it.

Redl Sports,  who use to supply Trophy, was bought out by Big Rock Sports.
On their distributor web page they do not show Trophy as 1 of their brands.

You may want to get hold of them.

Or maybe try Army & Navy they might put you in the right direction.

Had a Trophy Titan CP explode fighting a medium size chum.  Returned it to place of purchase (no receipt) and was able to get a new rod.  Decided on a Fenwich HMX.  Good Luck

Yes, Big Rock purchased Redl Sports.  Trophy was Redl's own brand I believe. 

I had a bottom half get slammed in a car door.  Phoned Big Rock and told my story - they referred me to a tackle shop near me who handled the whole warranty process for me for a $10 service charge.  Only took about a week.  Was well worth the $10.

I don't think they officially warranty rods being broken by car doors and tailgates, but because they sometimes need to replace top 1/2s they happened to have a lower half with no tip for that model in the warehouse.   Kudos to Big Rock and Trophy from me!
