Repairing a rod and quick turnaround never has gone hand in hand unless you have some kind of expedited service you can purchase, and I have never used one, so I don't know how fast they are. My 6 wt. GLX 4 piece had a broke tip after having family in the house for an extended visit, pulled it out of the tube and sock and surprise! It took over 3 months to be fixed and I delivered and picked it up. When Sage and their other brands were bought things changed over there, I hear their unconditional lifetime warranty of their very early rods is no longer done, they have had a limited warranty like everyone else for decades.
