Lets hear some rod snapping stories from you salty mofo's, or any kinda gear FAIL tails
I was hauling a large seven #er last Monday on a 13' Ron Arra rod when the top two feet snapped off without so much as a wimper. Broke without shattering, which is common, almost as if it was cut most of the way through. The rod was special. I took an 11' foot Arra and fitted an extension to the butt and at cast a country friekin mile.

I have another blank on order to replace this one, and make the rod the very same length and way.

Oh it was at least seven #'s maybe less.
