Even if you do break your Orvis rod, they tend to make it much easier than any of the other companies to get back on the water. I think this is likely due to having retail stores. I broke one of my Orvis rods and took it into the store. They handled everything for me and it was returned in no time (a week or two). On the other hand, Sage still has one of my rods from almost two months ago.
