CND Warranty

All CND Rods are covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials, manufacture and workmanship for the lifetime of the original registered owner. *Defective rods will be repaired or replaced at no cost to those who are registered under warranty (except for shipping and handling charges) for one year from the date of purchase. Thereafter, each warranty repair or replacement section will incur a nominal cost of $65 plus shipping and handling charges.

*Please note: generally, if a product is going to fail due to defects, it will do so during the first day or two that it is used. If the product fails after extensive use, it is most likely that reasons other than manufacturer defects are the cause of the failure.

Accidental breakage (non-warranty) will be handled at a reasonable cost. Owner will be quoted cost of repair before proceeding with work. Allow 3-4 weeks for all repairs or replacements.

Rods returned for replacement or repair (warranty or non-warranty) must be shipped postage paid and insured for both damage and loss. See your dealer about packaging materials for shipment of rods for warranty or repair, or contact your nearest UPS Store – they package and insure for damage during shipment for a small charge. CND SPEY USA cannot be responsible for shipping damage or loss. Rods damaged during shipment due to inadequate packaging will likely be subject to additional charges for repair.

Care and Maintenance for your CND Spey Rod:

Modern graphite spey rods require minimal maintenance. Prior to first use be sure to apply a thin coat of beeswax or candle wax to the male ferrules of each rod section. This aids in providing a firm seating of the individual connections.

In addition, tape your sections using high quality electrical tape before you begin casting. Apply two vertical strips of tape to each section then wrap over the vertical strips from 1 inches above the joint to 1 inches below the joint. Keep the tape pieces used for wrapping on the rod for repetitive use. Taping your rod is the best insurance against tip loss and breakage caused by loose joints.

If fishing in saltwater, rinse the rod and metal hardware thoroughly with fresh water after each days use, and wipe clean with a soft towel.
