I was just relating an event. Here I am trying to avoid a hook in the finger
and a trip to the doctor and my rod snaps. You can feel the pressure when you
have people watching you unhook a fish and asking can eat the fish?, is it a
good one?, do you need a hand?, what type of fish is that? what bait you using?
and other rapid fire questions as for taking the rod back most on this group
would do the same. I've broken several rods while fishing and the warranty
covers it. The warranty premium cost is built into the cost of the original
purchase.
