Shakespeare Warranty Information

Warranty Information for Your Shakespeare® Product

COVID-19 Update: Our top priority is the health and safety of our customers and employees. We are currently operating our customer service department and distribution center in compliance with enhanced safety procedures. Due to reduced capacity we are experiencing delays in response times and processing of warranty claims. Shakespeare® is committed to helping you #FishThroughIt and getting you out on the water is our goal. We thank you for your patience and understanding during these challenging times.

Shakespeare® warrants to the original purchaser that its Shakespeare® products are free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase. Shakespeare® is not responsible for normal wear and tear, for products used commercially or for failures caused by accidents, abuse, alteration, modification, misuse or improper care.

There are no other express warranties beyond the terms of this limited warranty. In no event shall any implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, extend beyond the duration of the express warranty contained herein. In no event shall Shakespeare® be liable for incidental or consequential damages.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion of limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific rights and you may have other rights which vary from state to state.

For instructions on requesting repair or replacement of your Shakespeare® product, please see Reel Service & Warranty, Rod Warranty , or Tools & Equipment Warranty below.

Rods Warranty

Shakespeare® warrants to the original purchaser that its rods are free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase. Shakespeare® is not responsible for normal wear and tear, nor failures caused by accidents, abuse, alteration, modification, misuse or improper care. This applies to either rods purchased separately or as a combo unit.

Ugly Stik® warrants to the original purchaser that its rods are free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of five (5) or seven (7) years, depending on the type of Ugly Stik®, from the date of purchase. Ugly Stik® is not responsible for normal wear and tear, nor failures caused by accidents, abuse, alteration, modification, misuse or improper care. This applies to either rods purchased separately or as a combo unit.

We do not offer repair or parts for rods. If your rod failed due to a manufacturing defect and is still under warranty, we will be happy to replace it with a new rod of the same or a comparable model. If your rod is within the original warranty period, we will need to inspect your rod to determine the nature of the defect. Please send the following items to shakespeare@purefishing.com. These easy steps will help us take care of your warranty claim as efficiently as possible:

  • Photograph of rod clearly showing brand and model – directly above handle
  • Photograph clearly showing the broken area(s) of the rod
  • Copy of the dated receipt or proof of purchase
  • A brief description of how your rod broke
  • Your address and a daytime contact number

Rods under warranty will be replaced for a processing fee of $9.95 US or $10.55 CAD. We will contact you directly to take payment, which can be made by phone via credit card. In the event your rod is no longer manufactured or is currently unavailable, we will also give you a call to discuss your replacement options. Rods that do not qualify for warranty replacement may also be submitted for a discounted replacement. Please contact us directly for details at (800) 466-5643 .
