Recently i took one of my lamiglas rods back to there shop in woodland, i explainded to the man how the rod broke, he said where were you holding your rod? i said right out in front of me. He then began telling me how it was my fault be cause i have put numerous amounts of stress on the rod while landing fish with the rod above my head. the funny thing is that want where the rod even broke right at the handle, and two at no point did i ever say anything about the rod being over my head.and even if it was over(which it wasnt) my head wouldnt the tip brake off not the strongest part of the rod. so that brings me to the question when are the fisherman not at fault? from what they told me the rods never brake.only the fisherman brake them.
