Weld's Largemouth Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Today i was fishing with tungsten bullet weights and when i was pulling my lure out of a brush pile the weight came flying back and ticked the rod in the side. I attempted to cast and bam it snapped, just above the reel Quote
masterbass Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 That stinks. What kind of rod was it? Warranty? Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 That stinks. What kind of rod was it? Warranty? Shimano Cumara, getting replaced with warranty Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted June 17, 2014 Super User Posted June 17, 2014 Shimano Cumara, getting replaced with warranty do you like the cumara? I was looking into getting one Quote
masterbass Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Are they replacing it for free? I ask because I suppose that wouldn't be a defective rod. A couple of weeks ago my dx snapped casting and dobyns replaced it at no cost (except I payed to ship it to them). Great service. But if it broke like yours did I suspect I would have to pay $80.

It goes great with the shimano Stradic ci4 reel. The rod is so light and great action and backbone. This only broken cause my weight hit it. I'll get a new one for free though Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 New red one or previous gen?[/quote New red Quote
Kevin22 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 That stinks, but it wasnt due to a defect in the rod so it shouldn't be a warranty claim. Oh well, you're rod so its you're choice. Quote
Cgrinder Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Shimano asks no questions. Watch your tungsten in the future eh? 1 Quote
VolFan Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I had a jig do the same thing to a Cielo on a short line, shallow water fish. Nailed the rod and broke about foot clean off. I was honest with Daiwa and only paid shipping for a replacement. Quote
