This rod has been our daily driver for several years, and weve spent a few hundred days on the water with it, fishing everywhere, from our home waters in Colorados Rocky Mountains to fishing and backpacking trips in California, Utah, and Nevada
I personally think that it's rare for a fishing rod to snap when it is being used correctly - sure, it can happen, and it has happened to me, but I still reckon it's very rare when a rod breaks for "no reason", and I wonder how much of the price we pay for rods is influenced by a company having to be ready for future rod returns
