Well...I get to try their warranty out once again.  Got that new Aetos (7'MHF) on Friday and put it to work on Saturday.  Very first fish - 3.5 on trig, the rod snapped...while fish was still in the water!   Not lifted or flipped, even.  It made a run towards me like it was headed under the boat and before the rod even got bent bad, it snapped in half.  Will call them today.  That's two new Aetos - one, the previous version, and one new version.  Will probably have them send an ET Bass instead this time.  Will let you know how it goes this time around. 

Update...again....

 

Called Fenwick about the new break - sent one pic via email (8/14.)  Got brand new replacement yesterday...no sending in old one...no back and forth emails or calls this time.....  So far, pleased with their warranty service...just hope that I don't have to talk to them again

Glad to hear it. Ill have to give them another shot then.
