that's why I shop the bargain bin of Outdoor Emporium. I can drink beer all day and not get all bent out of shape when I bust them 25-20 dollar rods. You name it, I've done it. - casting ofgf the top half, steppin on 'em, throwin em down and breakin em, explodin em on fish and or snags, bangin em in the boat.

It's funny. I have an old Eagle Claw yellow fiberglass rod that I can't seem to break, but all the new ones only last me a year or two, no matter whether I pay 20 or 120 bucks for 'em
