"I really love my CND Custom 7/8, but a week ago, rod number two blew apart in the tip section. The first one blew in the mid section on the first cast of the first day fishing it. The design has a superb action, balance, and feel to me, but the construction is either jinxed or flawed for them to be so lacking in durability."

Wow, and to think I almost bought a CND have there been a lot of reported problems with them ?
