Second shot of the day and the new Pony was out of commission. Drew back to shoot under a limb and POW!! I will say this, ACC Crappie Stix contacted me as soon as I sent the request via email. They will ship a replacement tomorrow. Kinda bummed it broke, but that is awesome customer service. Would have thought 6lb test would have broken first may go to 4lb.Attachment 421971

Awesome for sure!
Is that a break at the joint?
Yes must have been a flaw in the weakest spot.Quote:

Great customer service.
Ah, that’s a real bummer, but great the company got out a spare quick.
Ouch ! That’s sucks .
I’ve read some folks were having trouble with the ACC blanks , but they said the customer service was good .
Good luck with your replacement.
Sometimes it’s a hit or miss thing with rod blanks .
I have a feeling it may have had a problem by the way it split at the joint. You can't see it, but there is a hairline crack towards the tip where it broke. Just a small inconvience. I still got a beautiful day on water that was like glass.Quote:

Bum deal on the break but glad to hear they’re standing up and doing right. I set my drag to begin to slip when the rod is loaded pretty well. This keeps the chance of overloading and breaking the rod to a minimum. And I use 2 and 4 pound line for my light jigs but have used 6 when shooting a sixteenth.
Hate the rod snapped on you. That rod should handle 6 lb line.
nothing quite like a "SNAP" on a new rod , sure brings everything down a few notches .
congrats on the replacement
This is exactly why you have to have more than one.
Dock shooting is pretty rough on a rod. It never hurts to have extras. On the two ACC rods I have I am using braid. I pull them back hard enough that I have to crank the drag down pretty good to keep it from slipping. Definitely shouldn't have snapped
