Lol
Jk

I just flexed all my rods.... None rolled to the side......
I c what ole boy is talking about.... But I think it's kinda trying to "re invent the wheel"
kinda, I broke a bass pro rod I knew i had a redfish on and it was running toward the boat I was trying to reel in the slack, then the fish ran strait back while I was reeling in and the fish started to pull i'm pulling up and facing a different way then the fish was running the rod twisted and broke. one way you can test your rod is pull the string bending the rod, turn your wrist sideways, pull some more tension with the string and straighten your wrist, the guide at the tip are still bending down and the guides closer to the real are facing up, the rod is being twisted in a way it can snap, guides being on the bottom keep the rod from twisting,
