There's billions of rods out there some have faults every now end then you get one with a fault looks like Jared got one! Just my opinion!
I still have 3 7ft carrot stik gold that are going on 5 yrs now that make it every trip witch is a lot, and knock on wood neither has had a flaw! One even got slammed against another rod while setting a hook sounded like glass breaking! It's still catching fish, and those rods were notorious for snapping! There's good ones and bad ones! Soo how do you call some one out on neglect from a pic of two pieces of a rod?
