    Angry Well, it finally happened!


    I've broken my second rod as an adult, probably 40 years since the first one. While fishing Monday I broke my favorite casting rod, a G Loomis SR781, 6' 6" IMX ultra-light. I had caught about a four pound drum and was getting the net and the rod popped. I knew exactly what had happened. This rod is probably 25 years old and has caught a lot of crappie and one bass over 6 pounds. Since it's long been discontinued the search is on for a used one to replace it.

    Hate to hear that. Sounds like it was a good rod that landed many nice catches for you. Hopefully you find a replacement every bit as good.
    Thanks justinp61 thanked you for this post

    Hate it happened but you have a great track record overall.

    Rickie (rnvinc) commented one time that fishing with me was like "fishing with the circus". I still wonder about that sometimes.

    Oh man, that's a bummer! Losing a favorite rod is always tough.
