allright i payed what i consider a lot for these rods (~$30) and the other day when i broke the ice out of the tip w/ gloves on the tip cmae right off. i didn't do it hard or anything. the wraps were fake and no good and so we heat shrunk and epoxyed it back on w/ a spring bober. i think this is crap . shouldn't have to do this to these rods.does anyone else have problems w/ this happening?
I have 4 avid's and two premiers,I love them.I've had no problems,My buddy just bought a 24 inch light Gentz panfish rod and the tip snapped the first time out.Every eye is tied on crooked,it did not impress me.They did send him a new rod, but all guides still look like his first one.
