Warranty Information

Ross products purchased through an authorized dealer are covered by a lifetime warranty. This warranty only applies to the original owner and is not transferable. This warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the product only, 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, negligence, normal wear, fire, theft, loss or intentional damage. 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. To qualify for warranty service, the original owner must return the product to Ross with a Product Service Form, or the warranty return will be refused and sent back to the customer. All shipments to Ross must be freight paid. Ross reserves the right to determine whether to repair or replace any product covered by this warranty. Discontinued products may be replaced with newer models when necessary.

REMINDER!! When sending Ross products in for warranty claims, we highly recommend using a shipping carrier that can track and confirm delivery of shipments. We are not responsible for any lost or damaged packages on inbound shipments. Thank you!

Please return all warranty products with a completed Product Service Form to the address listed on the appropriate form:

 


 

 

FAQ - WARRANTY, SERVICE AND PARTS

 

Q: Where do I send my Ross for warranty/service?

A: It depends on which model. Please select your model on our warranty page to see the Product Service Form for your specific item for the correct service location.

 

Q: I’m sending in my reel for service. Can I leave my line and backing on?

A: Please remove the line and backing before sending your reel in, in case we need to service/replace your spool. Unwinding and rewinding your backing and line can increase processing time.

 

Q: My rod broke. Can you send me just the broken section?

A: Unfortunately, no. Our rod sections are fit individually. Please send in the entire rod and we will replace your entire rod under our warranty service.

 

Q: Should I send my broken rod in a rod tube/case?

A: No. Just send the broken parts in a standard shipping carton. Our return packaging is very sturdy, and this will save you and us in shipping weight costs.

 

Q: The cutters on my Pescador pliers have worn out/broken. Can you send me a new set?

A: Any Ross dealer can order a set for you, if they don’t have a pair in stock.

 

Q: I just need a part for my reel. Can you send me one?

A: Due to the huge number of Ross reels of various generations, in most cases it's best for us to repair your reel in house. However, some parts are available for some reels. Send us an email with a description of what you are looking for and we will do our best to help you out.

 

Q: I have an old Ross reel that's not working any more. What should I do?

A: Send it in to us, and we'll service it. Go to our warranty page and follow the directions for returning a reel for service.

 

Q: You don't make my model any more. Can you still repair it?

A: Usually, yes. In some cases, such as with rods, we may need to substitute a newer model replacement.

 

Q: Is there a charge for repairs to my Ross?

A: Most repairs to Ross reels are covered by our lifetime warranty and performed at no charge. However, some repairs outside the warranty may incur a service charge. We will contact you in that case. Also, our fly rods and some reels are serviced or replaced for a small fee, which covers processing and return shipment. Details can be found on each item's Product Service Form.

 

Q: How do I pay the fee?

A: For the quickest turnaround, please include a check or money order with your product. You can also request that we contact you for credit card payment, but can delay processing.

 

Q: How long will it take to get my reel/rod returned to me if I send it in for service?

A: We want you fishing with your gear as bad as you do. Most reels are serviced and shipped back to you within 5 working days of receipt. However, some jobs and rods/reels take longer than others. For more details, see the Product Service Form for your specific item.

 

Q: I'm leaving on a fishing trip in a week. Can I get my reel/rod back in time?

A: In most cases we are able to accommodate reasonable requests for expedited service. Please use the Product Service Form to note the relevant dates and we will do our best. Keep in mind that transit time is the slowest part of service, so ship accordingly. We prefer UPS 2-day service or USPS Priority Mail.
