Guys i have 8 of these rods. 6 trolling rods 16ft, 2 11, and 2 7ft6in I’m having a lot of trouble breaking tip sections on hook sets. Broke one of the short ones yesterday trying to shoot docks. This makes my 4th broke tip since ive had them. Anybody had similar problems. Acc is always quick to get me a replacement but I’m about sick of having a repeated problem

I'm planning on getting one very soon. Watching this with interest. Four broken tips is not good.
I have about 10 of them from 7'6" to 13'. I don't shoot docks but sling all my fish and have never broke a tip in the 3 years I've had them. I've sold about 30 of them locally and only know of three of them braking, 2 due to accidents by the owners. I catch a lot of wipers up to about 25" without any issue. They do have great customer service when needed though.

I really like the rods so I’m hoping it is just a fluke but i am disappointed. Theses broke in normal conditions. I don’t mistreat my equipment

I have seen several others with similar experiences to yours on other groups that I read in.Quote:

I have 2 a 6'6" and a 7' that I shoot docks with. They not high mileage yet. I have not had any trouble out of them yet. They will zip a jig under a dock with some authority.
heard rumors about them not being so tough myself , quite often
never tried one , broke rods frustrate me no matter if they fix it or not
I only have 1 acc it's a 10' jigging rod. I love it and use it more than any other jigging pole I have. It's light, sensitive, and has plenty of backbone for swinging them in the boat. It broke at the 3rd eye from the top setting the hook on a fish. I emailed them about buying a new top section and had a new one at my front door in a couple of days free of charge. It's a couple of years old now.

I have a 10’ rear seat acc jig pole and use it wading in the thickets on Grenada lake so far the I haven’t broke it so it’s gotta be tough! I would love to try there trolling poles but I can’t afford 80 bucks a rod yet haha

DSJ are yours the dockshooter 2piece? Just wondering because on the site the one piece rods only came in 5'6" and 5'1". Sorry didn't mean to get off topic in the thread.Quote:

That said, I'll take a rod that MIGHT break a little more often, that has the weight and feel I want, over 6 that I don't like.
Yes they are 2 piece. It does not seem to effect their performance. My other shooting rods a 6' one piece ones.Quote:

i emailed them. replacement tip is 22 dollars. even though i really like the feel of all the acc rods i have, 4 broke tips is just too much for me. fraid im gonna have to stick with denalli. might be some really great deals on the for sale forum pretty soon
I've had two crappie stix to break. One was probably my fault but what surprised me was how easily it broke the tip section. The second one was the 8 foot rod which broke while actually fighting the fish. But I will say ACC Crappie stix has great customer service but I wish the rod was a little more durable.
I was going to order a 10 footer but they currently don’t have any stock of anything. This thread might change my decision
I have one acc rod & love it. I bought 2 ozark rods. They both broke in same place the first time being used trying to land a small crappie in the boat. Tried e mailing company with no response. Those 2 rods will be my last I buy from ozark.

Ozark changed hands not to long ago... I have a ton of ozarks all older rods.... broke a tip on a trolling rod and Blake Johnson ( current owner) handed out the best customer service I have ever had! The rods had been discontinued for a while and he still managed to find some tips!Quote:

Never broke one yet but don’t dock shoot with it. I have caught stingray, catfish, bass, striper, drum and crappie with an 11 footer. What a ride.
