Rapala Rod Warranty

Rapala warrants all rods against defects in materials or workmanship for a period of one year* from the date of purchase. No warranty registration needed.

To facilitate your warranty return, proof of purchase is required. 

If purchased through one of our retail partner locations, return defective product(s) to original place of purchase according to their specific regular return policy. It is the angler’s responsibility to verify the return with the retailer.  If the return falls outside of the retailer's regular return window or if purchased through Rapala.ca, please follow the Rapala Warranty Procedure.

*Some models such as Shift and Concept carry extended warranty policies and must be registered. See below for additional information about these models.
