OK, here's my prob. I've snapped two poles in the past year. One, was my bf's fault, he decided to "test the pole's 'strength'" one day, and you can just guess what happened. And last week, I snapped another one. Please don't ask how cause it's a reallllllly dumb story. Anyway, as my name says, I fish mainly for sharks and rays, so a small pole wouldn't do. I usually buy heavy but cheap poles. My last was a Wal-Mart shakespeare combo. I used to think, "what's the point in buying an expensive pole if the wear and tear of sharks and rays'll just break it over time?" Well I learned the hard way, and the pole was gone in a month. Yes, I had that pole less than a month. Last time I buy a pole at Wal-Mart I'll tell ya that, I've learned my lesson. Anyway, I always see ya guys postin bout light/medium tackle. But does anyone know any good but not so pricey heavier models and reels? Made especially for my kind of fishing. I know deep sea poles would be great, but they're a bit pricey for my range right now. I need a lot of strength, but also I need sensitivity. I really can't pay for a two hundred dollar custom right now. HEEEEEELP, please?:)
