Couple yrs ago, a poster on here said you better buy an extra tip for the PA cause it's gona break. When I inquired about that statement, he admitted he was rough on equipment, using his rod to try to swat insects buzzing around the boat, hitting tree limbs and bridge pillars. Crappie rods aren't made to use as clubs. I've still got the first 8ft ProAngler I bought 9 yrs ago and I fish quite a bit. Nothing has broken on that rod.
For fishing docks, the 8 fter is too long. Take a look at the 4.5 and 5.5 ft PA. I agree that they're a good sensitive rod. And I wanted to love them. This last one broke when I flexed it a little to slide it into the rod locker on my boat. Yes I should of broke it down before hand but who has time for that

I have two these rods and they are pretty good rods for the money. I purchased them off EBay around 8 years ago and they have held up well. My rods are 7footers if I remember correctly.

Yes I should of broke it down before hand but who has time for that I've landed an 18 lb blue cat on an 8 fter and seen a pic of MO with a yellow cat close to 40 lbs landed on his PA. Me thinks you may have flexed it more than a little.
