Default new rod search

I had a 7 or 8 yr old falcon bucco 6' 6" and closed the tailgate on my old ford truck and I started to turn to get my tackle bag off the ground. Well there was a reel hanging in midair....I grabbed the rod handle and opened the tailgate and couldn't see any visible damage. So I went to my roadside spot for flounder and was expecting the rod to explode on hook set. I fished about 6 months more until I sat on the rodbox and snapped the first 6" off the end. Wish I still had it but they don't make the 6' 6" anymore.
I like the looks of the Ducket and the weight feels good. Maybe next time.
