Excellent advise fishbones! I personally witnessed a new century rod snap off the top 6" of the tip while casting a 2 and a half oz pencil at the canal. It sounded like a shotgun going off! If it snaps during a cast, what happens fighting a 30+lb fish in a swift current? I personally use an arra 1322. Casts a mile and has a solid backbone. Super happy with that purchase from CMS.

I unhooked them and released them.. without any problems.
Not arguing here, just countering and answering your question with experienced facts. Can we drop this now?

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

I'm just sharing what I witnessed and my experience with a product I am pleased with. I think some folks will become very brand loyal once they commit to a particular product. My father-in-law for instance will only buy Chevy cars. Chevy could produce cars that had their wheels fall off after 15 miles and he would still find a way to defend their superiority as an auto manufacturer. I am not immune to brand loyalty either and I am not claiming that century produces an inferior product. Yes, we can drop it now. Lol.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

If I shave my legs, will it keep my rods from breaking?
