BertMercs14 Recommends St. Croix
No offense at all but if an under slot is shattering your rod, it’s not a good rod. Get a St. Croix.
FanBaselock on Rod Damage
Any rod is good. I bet the tap had prior damage that wasn’t seen by eye. And when the fish hit it, that’s when it snapped.
booziwan Suggests Ugly Stik
Get an Ugly Stik. At the very least, they have rod tip warranties. Plus they’re ugly tough.
Jefffahfffah on Rod Breaks
That’s a weird place for a break when a fish hits. Probably had other damage already like a tiny chip or something.
