well it aint on small 12 to 16 pound twinkies or bigguns.
A , the god is ment to cast that weight, If it cant handle the load, then thaey should not specify it on the dam blank.
I can understand me breakin rods on 50 pound test in my rock mecca on 20 to 40 pound bass due to ripping them literally over the rocks at the place i fish in spring. due to some chips or nicks.
those rods are sm1363m or 2f cut down to around 9'10".
The tip is cut down to a size 14 and i cut the rest off the butt section.
I use penn squidders due to the spool capacity and spoolchange.
I trash usually 2 or 3 a spring. tork frames, strip gears. one year I blew out one side on a school of big bass to 46 pounds. the bearing blew out the side and i trashed the spool, to funny.
Fished the broken rod and pounded bass on top to the beach.
no big deal........................
