Only when they run down the rocks and try to pole vault to the blitz on the other side, or snag a tree behind you in full cast

I have a 1327 & 1328 never came close to having issues.

That's not entirely true. I've seen 2 break under what would be considered normal fishing conditions.

Look, I've had completely enough of this . I'm tired of you continually spreading these things you heard. Were you there? No, you go off heresay of some one else who also was not there.

John was with me both times. He saw it both times. No one else who claims they know was there. The first time one snapped it was throwing a 2 oz pencil. There were no bushes, no trees involved no nothing. A simple cast and the rod exploded. From everyone I have talked to this happens with new rods. No biggie I accepted it and we fixed it and moved on.

The second time wasn't even at the Canal so I find it amazing that you say it was during a pole vault at the Canal. It just shows the credibility of your sources. I never even asked them to warranty it. I asked if they could help me with a price on a replacement. I don't think a rod should break from being dropped at waist level, but I accepted the fact I broke it and was originally going to replace it with another Century.

The real reason I will never buy another rod, is somewhere along the way some sleazeball claimed that they wouldn't help me because I gave Dave a hard time and swore at him, etc.. I would love whoever in the Century camp that made this up to step forward and stop acting cowardly. Be a man for once in your life.
I'll gladly post the conversation I had with Dave, and I'd really like him to respond. I find it disgusting that I have to defend myself over one of their rods breaking, when I was honest and upfront about it the whole time.

I find it incredible that you have these assumptions but have never bothered to stop and speak with me about them. We've fished together numerous times.


Anyone that knows me, knows that I value honesty and doing the right thing. I lived these values through the years I honorably served this country. I was honest and up front about everything and in response I have been bad mouthed by the Century (or fan boys of Century) people.

First off i wasnt calling you out, i would have said publicly greg tried to polevault over the ditch, but i didnt, so you drew your own assumptions.

Second off i am not spreading rumors, honestly i could not care any less to be honest.

Third off based upon your rant are feeling guilty about something?

And I was hoping the "Rod Wars" stayed off this site...I guess every thing anyone ever manufactured has a certain amount of defects. And of course we only hear about the bad ones. This thread was about opinions of RISAA , not a certain manufacturer. Should I surmise your name is lamimann and you fish Lami's ? hasn't everyone heard of them breaking also? What you hear and what actually is true is completely different unless you know it first hand.

It's a known fact that Fishbones was there both times, and it was certainly implied. Not to mention you've said the same thing to me (jokingly) more than once. It wouldn't take a genius to put two and two together. Not to mention word travels.

Guilty about what? I'll make the offer again to post the conversation I had with Dave. I told him I dropped the rod. If he or anyone else disputes this I'd love to discuss it.
By asking that you are simply trying an antagonistic approach. Good luck with that., and whatever your motives are. Anyone that knows me knows my track record.

Hmmmmmm, maybe fishbones is bad luck? Or maybe he had something to do with it? He seems to be the common denominator.
