Good rod, breaks
"I've owned this rod for two seasons now. It's broken every year at this time when I'm fishing good size stripers. The first time it broke was probably my own fault. I was lobbing a out of range heavy needlefish and the tip snapped. The second time however I was tossing a prerigged 9" sluggo. It snapped six guides down. I'm guessing the blank got compromised when I was hauling in a few dozen good stripers (35") over the prior 3 days. I'm torn whether or not to put in for warranty. I like the way the rod casts and it's sensitivity - I toss a lot of plastics - but if it breaks once a year-🤯"
