I’ve been using these for years and have never had an issue either... I’m rough on my equipment too.
Bobby are you using any of the 2.0 versions? I've got one of each and just recently got the 2.0. Maybe that's the one these guys are breaking! I use the older version as my primary worm rod and hammer the hook set on em. Never had a problem. The 2.0 is a med heavy for spinner/chatter baits. Haven't hooked a "big" fish on it yet, but it seems good to go for me!
