    Same situation 6 years later

    I originally purchased two of these 5'6 rods 6 years ago. Some how I've managed to keep one alive however one of them was replaced 3 times by the shop I bought them from. It continues to amaze me that the lightening rod still has reviews of it breaking with out a lot of pressure.

    Also back then I did email berkley several times and got no where with a resolution. So today I was finally considering another one till I seen recent reviews of this rod still having problems snapping in the same general area mine did.

    Why won't you fix this repeated problem smh

    Tip broke before any use…

    I was flexing rod after tying on a lure. Tip breaks with medium pressure. I now have a 5 foot 6 inch. Rod.

    Was looking for another 6 ft medium for river smallmouth. Well now I don’t have it. Poor quality.

    I will buy a Shimano….
