I've heard the the med-lights break pretty easy if you don't handle them perfectly. I won a med-light at a skeet shoot and immediately went trade it in for a medium. I now own a 7ft Medium and a 7ft Med-Heavy and I've enjoyed them. All good so far. Sux you're having a bad experience with your expensive rod. Recently went through that with my Falcon Bucco. Snap in half during a video of catching a 3lb redfish. Sent the video to them 3 times (almost a year ago) and I still never heard back from them. Customer service is huge to me when spend that kind of $$$ on rods. Good luck.
