Repairs & Service

Whether your product is under warranty or not, we are here to help you get back out on the water.

What to do if your product is under warranty?

REELS

Reels requiring warranty consideration should be sent postage paid to the Abu Garcia Factory Service Department or to an Abu Garcia Authorized Warranty Service Center. In the event your reel is under warranty, it will be repaired or replaced and shipped back to you for no additional charge.

Alternatively you can send your reel to one of our other Authorized Service Centers:

Package your reel carefully to avoid damage. We suggest sending your reel via UPS or Fed-Ex (keep the tracking number). If you would rather send your reel by mail, remember to insure your package.

Send the following items along with your reel:

RODS

If your rod is within the original warranty period (3 years from the date of purchase for manufacturer defects), we will need to inspect your rod to determine the nature of the break.

In order to file a warranty claim and/or replacement claim, we ask that you provide the following and email it to us at abugarcia@purefishing.com:

  • Photograph of the actual break
  • Photograph of the model number (located above the handle/opposite side rod)
  • Photograph of the brand and model (located above the handle)
  • Photograph of the rod as a whole
  • A copy of your receipt (if within warranty period)
  • Your contact information (daytime phone number along with your full name and physical address for UPS return delivery - we cannot return to a Post Office Box).

There is a $9.95 shipping and processing fee per rod when replacing rods older than 30 days; however, this is determined on a case to case basis.

Please contact our customer service dept. at (800) 228-4272 Monday-Friday 8:00am-6:00pm EST with your credit card information to finalize your warranty/replacement order and/or should you have any further questions.
