It sure does. In most products that offer replacement warranties they basically know what the breakage rate is going to be and then divide those costs and add it to everyones cost. You are paying for it but most feel much better. It is almost like insurance where you are paying for the replacement initially and just pay a deductible later if needed.

Yes at the end of the day, it does make fly rods more expensive, but it also gives the buyer the assurance that his investment in a fly rod is protected.
