Broke a GSB96M (which I had cut 6-8" off the tip and was using as a light codfish rod) midshaft while trying to pull free of a snag. That sucker came back at me and cut a nasty gouge in the back of my hand.

Popped a xra1083 trying to hold a fish on a steep cobble beach when I high-sticked bending forward to grab the leader. Ended up better on the rebuild so that worked out.

Broken numerous flyrods in all sorts of brilliant ways, usually invovling gas cans or my butt.

I have broke 2 at the canal and 1 in rhode island this year alone, 3rd one I just had to laugh about it. Time for some heavy duety costume rods to be built this winter
