Thank you Power Crappie

I broke a pole tip by jerking a leadhead into it when I missed a fish . I heard a loud crack when it hit , but did not think much about it till next pull it broke . Ran into a guy I recommended to buy one and he had broken one .. Sent a message to Ken at Power Crappie , home of Todd Huckabee Rods and he is sending replacements . Thanks for great customer service .: :highfive Even tough tackle can only take so much . No telling how many lbs of slab Crappie were swung with that rod since first of the year .:biggrin

I have some old reels not much good for Bass fishing anymore . That is an old Shimano reel I found in the mud while Nimrod was drawn down .The other photo is a Quantum Reel .Trying to see if I like bait casters over spinning reels on my jig poles . Using some old Bass fishing reels I had out in my shop before I spend money to buy new ones since not casting anyway . I like Diawa reels for Bass or Catfishing . Been really impressed with these tough rods but nothing indestructible , I would not be afraid to use them for Bass or Catfish .. :twocents Ken sent replacements and Postal Service destroyed them and cardboard tube not once but twice . He will resend Monday , hope 3 times is a charm .:pray

Ever had a heavy lead head fly out on hook set and hit you ? Like a bullet ! What are the odds of one hitting your rod tip and breaking it ? Might be a good idea to wear sunglasses while fishing , could save an eye .:twocents

Great rods and great guy I seen them picks

My buddy Ted was to photographer . :biggrin

Hey Nimrod, that is one the finest table shots of slab's I have seen! Look's like my trips to Kentucky Lake back in the '80's!! Very nice!

Good point, how many times has a fishermen had a lure or sinker turn loose from a snag or fish and fly at or by them. Makes me glad to have safety lens in my bifocals. Amazing it took out your tip. Thanks

Guess 3 rd time was a charm . Not really . Thank you Ken Roberson with Power Crappie , Home of Todd Huckabee rods . I finally got my rod tips unbroken . He shipped them in heavy PVC pipe . I bet you could have run over that package with a truck . USPS had destroyed last two cardboard tubes and rod tips inside .

Glad you got your replacement rod sections. I have had the same issue with a starter I ordered for my boat. It was damaged in shipping and I am awaiting the replacement for the replacement. I ordered the first one over a month ago.

not much on single pole fishin with the Todd Huckabee broom handle rods but good to see companies stand behind their products

Club years ago (fishin as a no boater from what i was told) got a worm hung up and aimed the rod at the lure so to not break the rod but to break the line and instead of breaking the line the lure came free and the bullet weight put one of his eyes out.

yes sir was loaned a couple to try out for a few weeks , gave em back after one trip , might as well use a cane pole with a piece of line tied to the end , way to stiff for my liking !
