After breaking every shimano/g-loomis rod I've bought it will take alot for me to spend more then 200 for a rod. Especially since my old carbon light is still rocking Didn’t you also say you have broken every Shimano reel you have owned. I’m seeing a pattern here and I’m calling BS!

I’ve never damaged a loomis or shimano rod that wasn’t my fault.
I’ve only had about 50 shimano reels over time but non failed, some wore out, probably from lack of maintenance on my part.
Good products in my opinion.
Wish they kept anti reverse switches on their higher end spin reels…

Especially since my old carbon light is still rocking What are you doing to break so many rods? Sounds like you need a bunch of Uglystick rods to fish with. No kidding. I have broken exactly two Loomis rods in the last 35 yrs and BOTH of them were my fault. I broke one going into the office at work as the hydraulic door closer get the tip as I walked in. The other I broke trying to free a bait stuck on a barb wire fence.

Didn’t that guide in Galveston break one when he was trying to treat your fish like a wire man with a marlin on the line?

I am pretty tough on rods. I have only broken 3 of them. One is a car door, one in the trolling motor, one I was pond fishing and went to set the hook at slammed into a tree. I have never had one just break.

I have never had one just break. I’ve broken a few in forty years of fishing. One was dead sticking a frog fish with around 5 added pounds of grass on it. Broke at the stripper guide. Broke another in trying to save a senko on a dock piling. Top 10 inches. Brought a replacement for that rod and it broke pulling line through the guides the first 30 seconds after I mounted the reel. It was defective. That’s it. Three! Now I have smashed numerous guides by stepping on rods while fishing.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.
