FW - Here's how you break a rod:

You step on it in the boat. You shut the truck door on it. You fall on it while wading.

What's great about Lamiglass is that even when I've done these things to my Lamiglass rod, and I have, they replace it with a new one. No questions asked.

No other rod manufacturer that I know of will do this. Most will replace the rod if you break it while fighting a fish. But Lamiglass goes much farther. I can't say enough about them.
