Fishing on the boat and not being aware enough of my surroundings. Went to make a cast with the Lunakia and smacked it right into my Presso Air AGS that was in a rod holder. The Lunakia won. Funny thing is I put it in the rod holder because I didn’t want to step on it and break it.

Not sure on best way, but out of the truck and or trailer is common, doors are deadly too , had a spare tire fall on an expensive one myself,and my hooksets on a few other ones as well .
Once had a buddy lose an entire rod canister full of 300 dollar rods out of his truck bed , back tracked for hours looking for it , never to be seen again
“D” must have gone to your school of hook setting. Not to mention your “Sling and Fling” tutorials!:RoflQuote:

I've got a Tenyru that the tip end is about $160 and I've broken it twice. I will say that the Major Craft rods are much more durable than other high end rods. I broke the tip on my Lunakia...
In about [emoji637][emoji640] years I’ve only broken two. Forget how it happened exactly but I do remember it was stupidity on my part. I cried a little bit and then ordered the replacement tips and fished on.

Went on a trip to Cape Point at Hatteras with my buddy and his friends. His buddies were in front of us driving down the road when a parked pickup pulls out from a dead stop right in front of them and they had to slam on brakes and several rods got broke. And then one of the guys had an $800 nick's rod, anybody that's fished there knows who Nick is. His friend smashed it in the door and broke it. That soured the night a bit
Lost a rod to a car trunk once. Sat the rod down told my buddy, “Dont close the trunk, my rod is back there.”
Few seconds later, “SNAP.”
It happens (Forrest Gump voice*)
While my jig poles aren't as expensive as others, I did manage to break a tip off one by accidentally dropping a milk carton filled with water and frozen onto one and then accidentally closed a compartment hatch on another.
