Moosebunk Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Can almost count on two hands how many Fenwicks I've broken. 1 Shimano too but that was Bull. St.Croix's lower end rods are better than Fenwicks mid... but gawd... those walleye class rods I used to have were so nice and touchy with those little walleye tap taps, but then you'd sweep the hookset and snap the rod in half. lol.

Alfiegee Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Wow. I can't believe so many guys have broken rods. In 40 years I only remember breaking 1 rod and that was because a 70 lb roll of tar paper rolled over it in the back of my truck, totally my fault. I have a 10'6 St Croix Wild River and it is excellent. I have seen people break rods so I always carry a back up if you will. My Orvis 8'6 fly rod is always with me too. I don't think I can really call it a back up tho as it sees as much use as the St Croix. I also didn't see anyone mention Mitchell in this thread. I have a 7' Mitchell spinning rod that has been thru everything in the last 10 years since I got it. Including a 25 lb carp 3 weeks ago. Alfie.
