That it is for most retail products. Sometimes there is none and sometimes a new product is a bust and costs them a fortune. Seen that a few times before too. Then either the product gets a makeover or they raise the price up to cover it. And yes there are a lot of people that bring rods back for warranty. I know because I got to deal with the difficult ones.

Also calculated into that is most people who do break a rod don't know it might be warrantied or can't be bothered so just go buy another rod. The percentage of rods that actually are sent/returned for warranty is quite low.

It's kind of like rifle scopes, the cost of repair/replacement
/ warranty return rate is factored into the retail price. it's just another marketing tool.
