BB, saw Bassmaster (remember him?) break two and had a few other friends break thiers. I know what your thinking if you know BM but he wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary as I was there watching when it happend.

Course I have some reservations on Arra series after seeing that. Stiffy got a nice XRA rod wrapped last year by the CMS boys and he can cast well with it on the canal, still can't match my old JK Fisher but he comes close and Numbskull just wrapped a sweet conventional with one ( and of course I enjoyed busting his balls with the breaking thing and now he's paranoid).

Just interested in seeing if anyone else had probs. Seemed to hear more about them then other makes though in the 70's we broke a lot of graphite rods while casting on the beach at night. Sounded like a 22 going off and those purple sparks were cool.

Why even try.........
