Firstly, just want to thank everyone - i dont comment or post much but read this most days and learn so much from you all.
My question is - how easily damaged are fly rods? Ive been learning on my dad-in-laws 6' for about 6 months without a scratch, and will be getting my own next month. The Orvis Encounter combo looks ideal (saving for a house and dont want to spend more than 200) but everyone i mention it to grimaces and says 'but it doesnt have a 25 year guarantee'
Considering most of the kits with guarantees charge you ~40 bucks regardless of that to have the rod fixed, should this be a big factor in my decision?
