Dobyns will break, but they have a great warranty.

If anyone has broken several rods of multiple brands then chances are the rods are not the problem. Correct Mark. In 40 years of bass fishing I have broken 3 rods while actually fishing.

I was rigging up in the garage one day and just tied a popper on a rod; then leaned it up against a wall to grab another combo.
My idiot Labrador walked by wagging his tail and hooked the popper with his tail, he hauled [censored] dragging my Loomis rod behind him.
He then spun around really fast to try to bite the lure hooked into his tail, this made the rod sling into the garage door smashing it into about 4 pieces.
Fun times.

Most rods break due to angler mis-treatment, some will come with a factory defect where the material may have got laid to thin in a spot.

My next door neighbor does all the repairs for SW Parts. It sure is nice to run across the alley for a quick repair.

I agree with the Falcons. Been using LowRiders and Caras since they came out and haven't broken one yet. Most of my rods are now 10-15 years old and still catch as many fish as ever.

Donโt break many rods. Last one was a Megabass that snapped on a cast of a 3/4 oz jig just out of warranty. Replaced it with a Dobyns since they have a more customer friendly warranty. Your mileage may vary.
