I own a T&T 9' for 5 weight No Sanctuary rod. It's my upper D cannon and replaced an older Sage. I think the current owner has owned them for a decade or more, but I could be wrong. I do worry about warranties with some of the fly rod companies, but so far I've never been burned and only had one Sage that ever needed repairs which was no big deal at the time. Car door beats graphite fly rod every time!
