I am simply stating what I have witnessed while fishing, and I can tell you this also I was fishing next to a guy on the Puyallup he was hung up on a rock he was reefing and pulling so hard on his rod I was shocked it hadn't broke

Guess who I saw at sportco the very next day

He was complaining to the man behind the counter about how a 4lb humpy broke his rod…and how lamiglas doesn't make quality rods anymore..

Ive seen LOTS of people break rods on snags and not a single rod break on fish….

Hmm
