The only rod i broke was a cheap walmart rod. Looked like it was wood lol. But i have noticed that sometimes if you pay alot for somethign you get crap. I bought a gander mountain baitcasting combo, the rod is great, its being used with my silver max, but the reel was trash. The line would get between the spool and the shell when it would backlash, so i would have to take off the side cover, which on this was easy but the bearing wasnt held in there. It just sat there. So it would fall out and i would spend 10 minutes with my nose on the ground trying to find it. But it soon got away from me after the like 10th time. then i called up gander mountain, and no replacement parts...which made no sense. Seems like nothing is made to last.
