I have a rod laying around, you can have it for free. My son caught a 40lb Tuna on it. Nothing fancy but it will get the job done.

Its hard to break a rod during a fight unless there is a defect or the rod is some how damaged. Another reason rods break is from "high sticking". Either way it sucks. But now you can get a new rod. Mike

Rod was pretty much parallel to the water when it snapped. I was only using 25# flouro leader and the rod wasnt damaged so I'm not really sure why it broke. I grew up fly fishing on very light gear so I know how to play a fish pretty well on lighter gear than the size of the fish. Drag was set accordingly to my line weight also...
