I have one that was mildly slammed in the tailgate by my wife, just a matter of time. It is not under warranty so there's no replacing it for free, but it's a nice rod so I'm not a fan of just setting it aside. Every time I hook up with it I pray it's not the fish that trashes the rod, although one of these days it's going to explode over something worth keeping and I'll be a tad frustrated.
