1. - rainshadow 1207 I think it was, casting a needlefish plug less than 2 ounces on a sandy beach using 14 lb fireline, rod broke in the middle.

2. - G Loomis 7' live bait rod rated 3/8 to 2-1/4 broke while setting hook on a seabass with 14 lb fireline using a 3/8 oz leadhead and Ledgerunner 4" splittail bait. I couldn't believe my eyes, broke right in half. I sent it back and they sent another.

3. Sabre 1088 9' rod spinning, 14 lb fireline, broke in half when jig caught on bottom and I pulled on it wrong to break it off, SNAP

those are the only 3 for me
I have witnessed others breaking rods also and they seem to break for no reason sometimes.

	The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely. 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook! It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
