Give them a call, sometimes they take a while to answer emails, I usually speak to dan and he straight forward with things, they will let you know what they can do. 

Dan's the man. He upgraded my 8' Mojo to the Avid. I like Andy too.

How are you loading your rod on the back cast? Are you whipping it out or letting it dangle before you actually drive it forward?

Listen... I know what I am doing... I'm not one of those " whip back whip forward in one motion casters.   I would have never started this post if I though that even for a second that my casting style, or recent damage was the cause of this break.  

 Let me summarize my main point:  St Croix mojo's have had a huge number of their rods 

 snap at a place that rods should not break on a cast... the foregrip.  I did not snap the tip, I didn't break it highsticking a fish in close... it snapped at my fore grip on a 2.5 oz plug.  I personally know people who's lower half has snapped the same way.  I'm not vilifying a brand, I have no favorite brand... I am saying the MOJO has issues.

I recently sent out my mojo out for warranty, paid $20 for label and another $20 for return, no questions asked. It is still under the 5 year warranty that comes with it but when I received it back, it was still broken. Not sure if it was an improper repair or what, but they did say they were going to send me another top section, so I’m just waiting for now.

You have to ad additional $40 to get warranty replacement?

Nice crap.....

Where should rods break on a cast?

What rod manufacturer pays for your shipping on a warranty claim?

Daiwa did for my reel....

I am using Century UK rods for the last 10 years....no need to ship them back....

That’s what I thought, plus the price to have it wrapped up at fedex, unless you have a big enough box for it already. I had the rod for less than six months....of it was like 3 years then I wouldn’t have minded paying the $40.

A rod doesn't last 7 years and then break from a defect. It either breaks right away or doesn't.  Something happened to damage that rod whether you want to admit it or not.

 

St. Croix should be suing him for abuse and slander!

I said rod manufacturer in my post, reels are obviously easier and cheaper to ship than rods. And refer to Post #33 of this thread for the pic of the busted Century.
