I'm sure you're not the only one to lose them like that.
I fished at Block with a guy who drove around with his 11 foot lamis in tube holders on his bumper cooler rack...once. Not too many low hanging tree limbs out there...but there are wires between poles. I did warn him.
The only two rods I ever broke were caused by a vehicle door closing and a power window in a vehicle - both had mono
Thanks for the input.
