For sure.... I have a serious problem with rods just like rifles lol. It's taken me years to find out what I like for different techniques .... I have about 35-40 combos at the moment but I do fish quite a few tournaments. I'm definitely more worried how the rod preforms than any warranty.... I think it's hard to get both warranty and the exact action/sensitivity that you might be looking for. But if you're flexible find out who has the best warranty and go with them.....good luck.
