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.
Hate it happened but you have a great track record overall. :biggrin
I wish I could say I only broke two rods ..... heck, I broke two last week!!!!
To watch how I break mine you can watch this clown show. Totally my fault.

Rickie (rnvinc) commented one time that fishing with me was like "fishing with the circus". I still wonder about that sometimes. :scratchhead
I've broke more rods than the UPS man! :Rofl
Oh man, that's a bummer! Losing a favorite rod is always tough.
I'm going to send it back to Loomis, hopefully they'll help me out.
Hope they do right and your luck is better than our head gewber. He needs a tree work signs on the CDC mobile!
