Rod Breaks that I can remember:

* 4 rods broken in Canada - 1 broken by me falling on it, 1 broken by me portaging it with too much OTHER JUNK in my hands, and 2 broken the same day, 1 I stepped on, and the other I broke trying to get it out from under the canoe thwart........I'm glad I had 3 on that trip.......None of these were fixed or repaired or replaced under warranty, even though 3 of them were from GOOD COMPANIES with 5 year or lifetime warranties.

* Allstar rod broken 2 ft from the tip. ROD failure, but no replacement.

* G. Loomis Bronzeback - Broken Tip. My fault. Stepped on it. 50 dolla no Holla.......G. Loomis replaced it via Expeditor.

* G. Loomis IMX - Cork pulling up on the handle. 50 dolla no Holla....G. Loomis Replaced it via Expeditor.

* G. Loomis IMX MH Casting - Crushed Eye, and Eyeseat. 50 dolla no Holla.....G. Loomis Replaced it via Expeditor.
