Just so you know....Ive been fishing the same limit rods since I began LLing (what...6/7 years ago or so) and have only broke one. My fault probably. I HAD to have stepped on the rod prior to breaking it cause it didnt have much of a bend at all in the rod when it was hung and the rod broke. Learning to manipulate.....when a striper hits one of my jigs I grab the reel so the drag wont slip and jerk the heck out of the rod to break the line before the fish wrecks my set-up. You cant hardly control a striper on a rod. He goes whichever way he wants and I dont want all my lines tangled into one giant mess.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
