Sorry to hear that. Wish there was a very strong light action rod that would last a long time. I actually go with Ugly Stik for all my rods. They seem to last longer for me and they are light action to shoot or jig.
I broke another rod Wednesday. It seems the ones that break are Berkley Cherrywood rods. Since this is the majority of the rods I fish with, this may have something to do with it. I have broken several and I seem to use them the same way and the other rods seem to be sturdier and I haven't broken as many of these. Is it just me, or are these rods more easily broken. I like the guides and they are great for shooting docks. they just seem to break easily......crappie1133

USAF Retired and fishing!
I am rapidly approaching forty years of fishing and have yet to break a rod.
Knock on wood.
I believe the Cherrywood is a graphite rod. Graphite's never take as much abuse as a fiberglass, or fiberglass composite rod. I don't know what all your rods go through, but bumps and bangs are harder on the graphite's. At least that is what I have found.
I have had a Cherrywood for years and had no problems, but that could change at any moment.
I have a 5'6" Cherrywood I use fire casting small cracks and the tip section kept casting off. It eventually broke right at the end of the bottom section. Luckily it only broke off about a half inch, so I put some epoxy on it and put it back together and haven't had any more problems. I've had a bad run on breaking rods the lasty few years. 3 this year, 4 last year, and 2 the year before. Only one while catching a fish.
I think it was 3 yrs ago I broke about 5 or 6 rods. I don' know if I brake so many because I buy cheap rods or if I buy cheap rods because I break so many rods. No, really when I lay my rods on the side of the boat they end up under the cleat and when I pick them up they snap.
Trump is like the guy that comes on the playground and beats up on the guys that's been pushing you around for the last 30 or 40 years.

After going five or six years without a break i've broken three tips this year already
