Hey John...

I just got in from the East Coast and saw your post. I'm not sure why the rod broke on you. With now over 2700 swimbait rods out in the market, we are seeing very limited breakage. I'm not sure if it was Supermatt that mentioned the knicking but that sounds like it could be the case as they are a high grade / modulas blank. Who knows... a reel of another rod may have bounced on it causing a small fracture.

Regardless... we need to get it taken care of for you. We have those rods in stock and I want to get one out to you as soon as possible. Please contact me at your convenience so I can get some information from you.
