most of the time you can tell what caused the rod to break. if its abuse there are usually the tell tale signs of scratches of nick on the blank, when i see this my warranty is void, i dont fix abused rods, they are told when they buy them "abuse and break it i wont fix it", most people only treat store bought rods badly anyway, most likely that was a flawed rod jesse,

Forum: rodboard

the constant flexing and pulling of the guides on a rod that size. you should use two wraps to ensure the guides stays put, i have had a couple of trolling blanks i tied when i first started building rods come back due to guides pulling away from the blank due to only one wrap, when i consulted a veteran builder she informed me that it was a must on all rod rated over 20lbs. so i can only explain
