Call Jack Wells at BnM in West Point and tell him what happened....pretty sure they will give you a new rod. I recently retired my 12 ft. Sam Heaton and my 11 ft. Ozark . All I use now for single pole is a BnM 11 ft. Duck Commander double touch jig pole with rear seat and a Mr. Crappie SOLO jig pole reel. I really like it.
