This the main reason I designed the "no ceramic insert" eye for the ozark rod. I can promise you, I am extremely tough on my ozark rods and haven't broke one yet, even during field testing where i intentionally applied more abuse than normal. I love being able to grab the line and slide the pole down and knock the jig free.
