Redlite,
Just curious if you use braid or mono? I've been casting for a long time and have never had a rod blow up on me - I strictly use mono. I know the freshwater largemouth bass circuit had all sorts of problems with busting rods when using braid. Since I've been working at the Edge I see the rods returned all the time - broken in various places. Most seem to be broken while using braid. Maybe a connection. Of course I'm sure your sticks are put through the most severe tests/environments - could have been easily nicked by a barnacle. One other thing - not sure Lami or any other rod manufacturer would consider swimming/wet suiting with the rod as "normal use" but that's just my opinion. Hopefully in your case they will come through. Call Arden or Pete G at the shop for their advice.
