How many rods have you broke?

[MuskieFever]

This thread is bad luck!! It has been YEARS since I have broken a rod or witnessed it happen. This weekend I got tangled up with a buddy on a cast and snapped his top 2". Then 2 days later, my buddies other rod blows on the cast..Talk about bad luck.

2 shimano crucials

3 st croixs

1 kistler

1 lamiglas

quite a few ice rods....

All but 1 were covered under warranty (except he ice rods). The one company said that their rods were not intended to lift 2lb bass into a boat???? seriously? I was PO'd but still buy their rods because they make a good product.

Broke three last year 2 Fenwicks and one custom

I have broke a few more than I care to remember, but its always a great reason to get the new one

I'll guess about one every 3-4 years. I suppose that puts me at a dozen or better.

I don't recall ever breaking a rod...

Broke my carrot two years ago while trying to get my lure out of the branch. It was my bad, not the rod. Pulled it the wrong way.

Broke a compre today. Never caught a fish w it and broke on a cast. Head scratched and glad it was a quick return to cabelas.

I'm not sure I want to answer in fear of jinxing myself. To be honest, I can only remember breaking the tip on a couple years ago. Oh, please....don't let bad karma my way!!

I knew I shouldn't have responded to this post!! Snapped my FW HMX last weekend on hookset. Of course, I'm unable to locate any proof-of-purchase so it's looking like a throw-away. I did contacted FW and they'd be happy to replace it for a different model for a low, low price of ~$55. Oh, and this would be with NO WARRANTY. What a deal! NO THANK YOU!! If I buy another rod it will be another brand.
