Just wondering if any one else has had any problems with it. It is my second one, first one bought last year, used for about 4 weekends and the tip broke right off while setting the hook. Decided not to send it back and just fix the tip myself. Well this year I decided to buy another one, price just seems right. Got the package yesterday, no damage to the outside of the package, took the rod out and the tip was already broken in the same spot!! I was pretty ticked!!! Ordered it from bass pro on-line, they said send it back and they will refund me in full, which is great. So I email St. Croix, pretty much they told me I needed to upgrade to a different rod. I don't get it, isnt that want the rod is designed to do? As for that I will never buy another St Croix rod again and do not recommend the drop shot rod from them to anyone. Just wondering if anyone has had the same problem, and if anyone has a good recommendation for a good drop shot rod? Thanks
