This weekend while fishing the sandy river in oregon i had a Lamiglass explode on a hook set. It split length wise about 1-2 feet up the from the connection point. Still got the fish but it wasn't much of a fight and there was no way I was going to let this one get away.

By the way I heard that Lamiglas only has the lifetime warrenty on the certified pro rods. Is this true? My rod was a Norewest Special.
