Glenn, some people on here that don't know you may start saying "just how big a boy are you"!!!!! to break a rod like that!

You surely have the technique for hook sets down! Must have been the drag too tight!

cork handle looks pretty new still, may just be good maintenance.

Me and a friend were out in the Bos-tawn having a blast catching rat reds and the stick just busted. Never have I seen one break in that place on a hook set. The rod may be 6-7 months old, somewhere around there. I loved the feel of that rod.

Salty - I never mentioned the "maker" of the rod.... just shared my negative experience... Doesnt matter to me if it were a zebco - I'd still be bummed out...

You are very perceptive, but none the less wrong about my intentions for posting my mishap... I only share my fishing experiences, good or bad. I'm not asking for squat, nor am I bashing anyone's product.

I didn't mean to insinuate that at all and my apologies if it sounded that way.

could have had a hairline crack (mfg defect OR from riding the boat, etc) but it would not keep me from buying a rod from billy. the fact that he said he will make it right is more important than the rod actual breaking. granted i would be bummed, but again, he said he would make it right.


did you break it using mono?
