I beat the hell out of my 1205 and yes , someday it will break at a ding I put in it falling down or dropping it or it sliding off the car , etc. If you gets several years and lots of heavy use from a rod , it owes you nothing. If you walk out with a new one , catch one fish and it breaks on the next cast , you deserve a new rod. To me its like LLBeane warrantee. Some people get a good pair of leather boots and wear then twenty years and are happy. Some take those well worn 20 year old boots to the store and demand a free replacement pair.


Anyway , just cause a rod breaks after years of heavy use does not mean there is anything wrong with the product line.

Now , if you get new one from Lami fine , if not , I think the smart move right now is to buy a century. Time and technology march on and lets face it , the Arra blanks are a 20 year old or older product line.
