The "tiger" model (honey/red/black) is supposed to be the one you can abuse because it's got a rubber core inside the rod...I like my 7'er.

The stretched out treble with the weed on it is more indicative of someone muscling it off a rock.

No it was on the cast it just snapped....I was watching...no rocks there! The bent treble is more indicative of eight 8-10 pound blues the boy was beating up on last week!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

By the look of that popper that rod gave him a lot of fun before it snapped. I would try and return it what have you got to loose.

They WILL replace it for FREE.
You shouldn't have any issues with that.
When someone new to fishing breaks a rod, I would still put my money on the user being the problem, not the rod.

Yup! When they get all 3 barbs in the mouth they tend to bend when you put the pliers to them to get them out.  |
