Cabela's Warranty Question

[BoyoBoyle]

Ok, so i was fishing today and got a snag and when I pulled back my rod tip smacked into a large rock that was behind me and the tip busted off about 6-8 inches from the end.

Now, my rod is a Cabela's Tourney Trail 7' Medium 2-Piece. I love this rod and I would hate to replace it with another, but I only bought this rod about 6 months ago, and Cabela's has this "Limited" two year warranty. Now, I've read over the brief warranty info, and it was pretty vague (not usually good, talked more about what they dont cover than what they do cover ).

Now, Im still under this warranty, I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with Cabela's and their warranties. So.... how should I go about this? Tell them the rod snapped because I forgot about the rock next to me? or make up a story about how it broke while reeling in a fish?

I would imagine that rod tips and warranties are a pretty touchy subject with rod manufacturers.
