...I agree....doesn't take a hard whack sometimes either...one of mine fell against the kitchen counter after a rinsing the reel and the next time I hooked a good fish in the kelp and the fish kelped me...I loaded the rod up and snap right were I remember it hitting....love my graphites and carbon fiber rods but no forgiveness for unfortunate neglect
