At this point in the history of the rod, I would definitely say it was NOT rod build related! Some nick or bang occurred in that spot to cause the break. I have fixed 100's of broken rods.

<p>Custom MW Stripper guide. Some have said they look terrible? They work wonderfully, are truly 'custom', lend themselves to 'custom' thread work, and are one more thing on your custom fishing stick that did NOT come from a machine. I think they are quite handsome!</p>
