About a month ago, I purchased an Elite Woody Sawed Off Magnum through Leisurepro.com. This past weekend, I took a mini-vacation to the Florida Keys. Excited to use my new gunfor the first time, I ended up using it for a total of 3 days. As I was in the water on our last day, as I was loading my gun I felt something was wrong and noticed that the shock line had come off the gun. When I go to wrap the shock line again, I noticed something. At the site of the line release, the wood had splintered. You can even see the pin that holds the line release in place through the splintered would. I figure that this should be covered under some kind of factory warranty. Like I said previously, this was the first weekend using the gun. Up until that point, the gun was working remarkably, I was awstruck. I'm just glad that it happened at the end of our trip and not the beginning. What do I need to do?

Please contact Leisure Pro to have them get an RA# from JBL.  They will return the gun to the factory to our warranty department for inspection.  We at JBL International apologize for any trouble this might have caused.  Send us your pictures of the fish you caught in the keys with the gun in the picture of course and we will include you on our website. Thanks for shooting JBL!
