1. Tsunami Airwave 11ft think it was the med heavy model, braided line, 40lb forget which brand, van staal 250 on it. Was throwing a floating ss popper on it, broke between the 3 and 4th guide or 2 and 3rd guide, 4 casts with it. Most have a been defect cause when I returned to the edge for the warranty, they had a bunch maybe 4 or 5 that had all broken in the same spot.

2. Lamiglas ISU blank, custom wrapped, 11ft rated 3 to 8oz, fished the rod hard for 2.5 years, blew up casting a rigged eel about 5oz, in a night that was epic fishing.

The top section had worn down the ferrule and was sitting lower and lower on the blank every time I used it. Sounded like a shot gun going off.

Again braided line 50lb

And I've broken a bunch of small freshwater rods in my younger days but probably more user error then.
