Warranty vs. Repair Determination

Every Sage or Redington product that comes into our repair facility on Bainbridge Island, WA is objectively analyzed and assessed by a highly trained repair technician, and often by more than one professional. These technicians take several factors into account when determining whether a product will be repaired/replaced for free under our Lifetime Warranty or whether a repair fee will be assessed. They are expertly trained to identify and diagnose damages and discern whether a product failure was due to a defect in materials or workmanship, and thus falling under warranty, or whether a breakage was caused by other factors not related to our manufacturing processes. Our rigorous Quality Assurance standards are established to eliminate any substandard rod from leaving our production facilities, however, in the rare event that it does happen, the training and objectivity of our repair technicians will allow them to spot these issues and support our customers under warranty when necessary.

Sage Rod & Reel Warranty

Every new Sage rod, blank, and Sage series reel purchased through an authorized dealer is covered by our original owner warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

This warranty is limited to repair and replacement of the rod, blank, or reel and does not cover direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, or any other type of damage resulting from the use of the product. This warranty does not cover misuse, neglect, normal wear, fire, theft, missing/lost rod sections, intentional breakage, modification or customization of the finished rod, or damage during the assembly of a blank into a finished rod by a non-Far Bank custom rod-builder. Warranty coverage on rods built from Sage blanks is limited to the blank only and does not extend to any custom work or components added to the blanks. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

Sage reserves the right to determine whether to repair or replace any Sage product covered by this warranty and the right to replace any discontinued models with comparable models when necessary. Colors and components may vary between original and replacement parts.

The original owner warranty against defects in materials and workmanship applies to rods with a serial # beginning with the letter "A" and higher, including all double letters (i.e., AA, AB, and AC). One exception is the rods manufactured with a serial number Q, R, S, or T. These rods carry an unconditional, original owner lifetime warranty.

Should breakage occur outside of warranty coverage (when it's not the result of material defects or workmanship), a repair or replacement can be processed for a fee. Some items are no longer repairable. In these situations, Far Bank will contact you with alternative options once our technicians have completed their inspection of your item.

To invoke this warranty, the original owner must send the entire Sage product, including broken parts or pieces, freight paid and insured to the Bainbridge Island address provided during the online repair process.

This warranty is limited to the replacement of the rod or reel only. It does not cover direct, indirect, consequential, incidental, or any other type of damage resulting from the use of the product. This warranty does not cover misuse, neglect, normal wear, fire, theft, missing/lost rod sections, intentional damage, or modification or customization of a finished rod.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.

Redington Wader & Boot Warranty

Our waders and wading boots are covered by a limited warranty, qualifying products are those deemed to have failed due to defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty does not cover misuse, neglect, normal wear, fire, theft, loss, or intentional/incidental damage. All warranty claims must be supported by a proof of purchase that identifies the purchase date and purchase price. Due to the discontinuation of our wading products, our warranty policy will refund or credit, rather than replace, qualifying products as we cannot repair or guarantee availability of replacement wading products. 

If you purchased your Redington waders or boots prior to October 1, 2024, and your product fails due to defects in materials or workmanship within the first 60 days of purchase, your product will be fully refunded under warranty. If a failure in material or workmanship occurs after the first 60 days and within the first 365 days of ownership, we will provide a credit on FarBank.com equal to the purchase price of the qualifying wading product.

If you purchased your Redington waders or boots on or after October 1, 2024, and your product fails due to defects in materials or workmanship within the first 60 days of purchase, your product will be fully refunded under warranty.

  1. Send the entire Redington product, freight paid and insured, to the address listed below.
