How Many Rods Have You Broken?

[[email protected]]

Never broken a rod out of missuse. Had one break on a sturgeon, Wasn't fishing for them, just happened to hook one and was not using the proper rod.

Ive had friends break many. One friend decided it would be funny to poke my sister in law in the butt with his rod. Guess it wasn't so funny when he broke 6" off the tip. Same friend casting into a concrete tunnel under some railway tracks where the pond went under and busted his rod when he hit it off the concrete. Ive seen ppl slam them in trunks, doors, even step on their own rod.

Then they all look to me to fix em...

that line is pure win.......lol

Speaking of broken rods....

lol... Most are broken Odds and ends all over othe place. I just repair em and toss em in yard sales over the summer. Good money maker^^ People buy em up. A few blanks on the wall. Need to get back to building and repairing rods I think.

Only one coming home from a vacation with too much in the trunk,apparently. About $100 so not too bad.

I broke one this morning, 10'6 shakespeare intrepid. Wasnt even a good story behind it. Took it out after about 6 years of being in a closet, went to put it together and the middle section of the bottom shaft just cracked. I loved that rod, my first noodle rod. Also a friend of mine broke another one of my spinning rods trying to get a snag out, 8'6 shimano clarus, also loved that rod too. Last time i lent him a rod.
