Fenwick® Limited Lifetime Warranty Program

Warranty Overview: Open Water Rods and Fly Rods

At Fenwick® we aim to provide best-in-class fishing rods that deliver exceptional performance and ultimate sensitivity across all applications. We pride ourselves in delivering the highest level of quality and craftmanship and we aim for our Limited Lifetime Warranty to reflect our dedication to customer satisfaction. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for the lifetime of the original owner. Service Fees Apply.

Warranty Overview: Ice Rods

All Fenwick® Ice Fishing Rods will have a 1-year warranty period from the date of purchase.

Defects in Materials

We use advanced materials throughout our rod building process and are confident that there will not be a defect in the rod construction. Defective blanks will typically fail within the first 30 days of use. If you experience a rod failure that you believe is due to a defective blank, please refer to our warranty procedure below. If an accidental rod failure occurs due to misuse, you are eligible to receive a one-time courtesy replacement. Please refer to the Accidental Breakage policy below. Service Fees apply.

Defects in Workmanship

Defects in workmanship are for new and unused/lightly used rods based on the below:

  • Reel seats and handles with excess glue
  • Rough handle seams
  • Misaligned guides

If you have questions about potential defects in workmanship please contact our trained brand specialists.
