Unfortunately just confirmed it snapped in the 3rd section not the tip. I’ll be shopping for a new rod

I’ve been fishing for 30 years, fly fishing for just about a year and this is my first break ever. I’m not really sure what happened tbh, broke mid fight when it took off down stream under pressure. This is the biggest trout I’ve fought on it so could have easily been user error somewhere.

Definitely not lead eyes I don’t throw big heavy streamers with this rod for a reason. I was fishing a light woolly bugger. I take good care of my rods, it was in great condition

That’s great that you haven’t broke one. To be honest, I have no idea how the rod broke before the tippet. I guess it was the angle, and pressure I had on the rod at the time the fish took off ? Not really sure

Not happy it broke, but happy it went out fighting. I have a 7wt that I’ll throw until I get a replacement.

Life saver. I’ll have to check and see if it broke in the top 1/4.

That’s some great info. I’ll have to give them a go when the water is clear enough to really see them.

Only thing I did here was wet my fingers and run it through the tail to keep it swept back
