barroncooper Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I can't figure for the life of me what happened. it's a 7'9" x-tra heavy and I went to fling a frog this morning and it broke about half way up. it was not previously damaged because its been locked away in my rod locker for a month. is there still a warranty available? I talked so good about this rod despite the complaints on here. Quote
Revo_Carrot Stix Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 BC...I feel your pain. I have broken 2 this year and both were around 3 years old. I broke my 6'6" MH on a hookset and broke my 7'6" H on submerged tree. Both snapped like cane poles. In the past, e21 was not responsive so I didn't even try...moving on to St. Croix now. I'll have to change my name tag now...because I'm done with 'em. Good luck. Quote
barroncooper Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 I still think they're a pretty decent rod. There's better out there for sure but I got this one for $79 so i don't feel so bad. but I do need a dang frog rod now Quote
JunkYard814 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I went back and forth last year debating on whether or not to buy one. Cabela's was running a pretty good sale on them and I heard a lot of mixed reviews. Apparently situations like yours aren't uncommon. Quote
Super User QUAKEnSHAKE Posted July 9, 2012 Super User Posted July 9, 2012 The only other rod I read about breaking more than CS is the Abu Veritas. Just past week read 3 more reports of them breaking. Quote
barroncooper Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 it's dragged quite a few toads out of the lillies and been a good rod but it has not been abused and also that's how i would expect to use an almost 8 foot extra heavy rod. i guess it just had enough Quote
