Rod Alternatives

[mikkfin80]

Joe already knows my story about my xmg 50 but I will post it for everyone else to read. This summer in Ellis I was salmon fishing. I had caught a couple of fish and was loving my rod. I was bragging it up to a couple guys next to me who were amiring how it looked when I hooked a fish. I set the hook and was keeping pressure on the fish and I felt him head shake and then he decided to run. When he ran my rod snapped in half. I hope it was just a fluke deal because I really love how the rod feels. The biggest problem with the whole deal was that it took lamiglas 3 months to get my rod back to me. After I got it back I took it out steelheading and caught a couple nice fish and it felt great so I hope I don't break it again.
I recently saw that redington makes a steelhead series rod and am curious how their rods are. Does anyone else know anything about them?
