Well this morning was one of those mornings that bring to mind that old country song that went something like... "if it wasn't for bad luck I would have no luck at all"....
I recently bought my first higher quality fishing rod.... a nice 6'6" St. Croix Avid Series Casting rod. Was anxious to try it out this morning..... to make a long story short... I BROKE the tip off the thing... about 4" from the end. I got snagged and after several attempts to free my lure I decided it was likely not coming loose so I reached up to pull on the line with my hand. I had a small amount of the tip in my hand and when the line broke my wrist suddenly twisted and I heard this gut wrenching snap. Was sickened to discover 4" of the tip in my hand... very shocked that it seemed to break so easily.
Anyone have any experience with these rods? I have been fishing for years and have never broken a rod..... very frustrating experience.
Anyone have any experience with St. Croix rod repair and service? /forum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif
