Sad Day for My Lunakia Lineup...
Tomorrow is the new 752 Lunakia maiden voyage to the Lake.
So I figured how better to commemorate the event than by just taking its siblings with it.
Pulled the 63 out of the closet and strung her up, as soon as some tension went to the tip, a nice big split showed its ugly self about 4 down from the top guide.
I can only assume from the way it looks that somewhere along the way I have recently hit the tip section in this area good enough to separate the fibers, but not break it off, because the tension on that tip was part of its natural curve while strung up and it did not take any pressure at all, it just kind of collapsed into a right angle. Which of course I knew immediately was not right and my stomach rolled.
Looks like its just the 610 and 752 headed out.
On the hunt now for a new tip section.....

And just like that I have a tip on the way.
Chris at Finesse Fishing had one in stock to sell me.
Will be fixed back up in no time.

Did it break at or under a quide or a area away from the guide?Sent from my SM-G960U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile appOriginally Posted by Yodie

Just measured, 2.9 below top guide and 1.7 above next guide down.
The fibers are crushed in that spot and just slated from each other, its still in one piece, just floppy

You probably did something to it then. If it failed at or under a guide it would have been caused by improper guide foot prep or excessive thread wrapping pressure which causes the blank to be deformed from round to oval. You got a replacement on the way so problem solved.Sent from my SM-G960U using Crappie.com Fishing mobile app

Sorry to hear Yodie! Of course I only have the Tict Finesse to marvel over but I can only imagine how you must feel...those JDM tip sections do look very fragile.
