Walleyeman is correct,I seen it happen exactly how you are talking about.Check the first couple of guides starting at your tip.That chiped ring can be very sharp.This could of been avoided using simple maintenance,treat your weapon like you would no other....This is my weapon,this is my rod,this is for hunting,this is for fun...Paulpro.![[Image: bobwink.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/bobwink.gif)
...a bad day fishing is another mans dream....Sorry,I hope you recovered most of those lures.Line may look fine ,but as soon as it hits that sharp spot,its cut...let us know what it was,it almost sounds like your using a slip knot.[laugh]It would be a good idea to start getting rods with metal rings to avoid porcelain rings. I'm using those as my tip for some rods...This goes too for guys who like to wind their bait up to the tip.
