    Did you have any luck before you broke the rod?

    That brand of ice cream has snapped a few of my rods as well.

    I don't always snag fish, but when I do...
    I choose Little Cleos

    I'm the best looking smartest snagging poacher alive...

    Sucks about the rod man, if it is a Sage do they still want $50 to replace/repair?
     
    That is the Letort I am guessin?

    FFPA....
    i was hog hunting


    norm...
    this break was due to messing with casts and improper loading
    2hander splintered at the male end of the bottom section... and that was the replacement from the break in Feb

    Ya probably didn't use enough splitshot to properly load the rod.
    .....just a guess.

    wow, 5 splitshot on that big fly type deal?? That in itself on a old bamboo rod L@@KS to be reason for your rod snapping... But what do I know...... I only cast trout flys with my bamboo rods ans several I wouldn*t even consider fishing because they are very old and could possibly snap if fished..

    Well, that ditch is really deep, at least 18", and with all those weeds, you shoul dconsider a half ounce egg sinker pegged with a tooth pick.  That's how I roll.  And a bobber.
