So I am guessing that Daiwa does not have an accidental breakage policy like Dobyns and Loomis has?  Is this correct?  I was considering getting a Steez but considering the bad spell I have been on with breaking rods over the last couple years, I don't trust myself with a $500+ rod with no replacement plan.     

It looks like Steez has limited lifetime warranty. Would I ever spend $500+ on any rod? I'm not going to spend that much for a rod. I broke a rod last year, it was my fault I steeped on it. It was a new Falcon Expert, they have a great warranty. I simply shipped the damaged rod/proof of purchase & $20.00 for replacement rod shipping of new replacement. No questions asked

Loomis has the Expeditor program which is $100 for a GLX- not sure how much more the NRX would be.  Dobyns is something comparable based on the series of rod.  I have been in a terrible stretch over the last few years of breaking rods after only breaking one rod over the first 30+ years of fishing so I don't want to buy a $500 rod without an "oops" policy.   

Anybody here have any experience getting any steez replacement rods from daiwa?
