What is the warranty on Guideline Elevation Fly Rods?

Guideline offers a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Contact the retailer or Guideline for warranty details.

What type of reel should I use?

Can I use this rod for saltwater fishing?

While the Elevation rod can be used in saltwater, rinse it thoroughly after each use to prevent corrosion.
