Ring stinger...

Took two rods on a 250mile round trip to the famous cod mark Orford Island today.. My trusty NE codrod: Century Kompressor S...and my floppy cheapo Leeda Ikon Match.... Before even casting out, my tripod blew over and the two rods fell about three foot down onto the shingle. I thought - F**k, the cheap Leeda rings'll be buggered.. But no. The Leeda was ok, but the hard-as-nails Century rod had two rings shattered!?
.. I know I should've been less of a clumsy sod, but it was a bit disappointing.. Do Century re-ring on the warrantry?? - (I suppose not, like)
Any advice appreciated.

you can have the most expensive rings on ya rod and if they hit the deck the wrong angle they are gone :mad:

The icon rings are especially crap though, a couple on mine have smashed very easily.
