I broke a star steller 10 ft rod years ago had 20lb big game mono on a 706 I believe maybe I had a vs dont remember.I was pulling the rod straight back to free a snag. Then years went by bf I broke any other rods. And then this year I snaped a 1201 m when I cought my plug on my bag that was resting on the bank behind me. 50 #braid went right throw the tape and cut me deep. Och! I also just had a v.t. 3/6 11 ft rod blow up on me right at the ferrule the female end. 50#braid casting a bm atom jr with a skin under 3 oz I would guess, the trip bf it snaped I was out catching sm fish on a 3 oz pencil and could hear the rod making a twisting sound. Thought it was bc the conection wasnt good bc the top half was spinning,
