I haven't had any but I did alot of research and when people start talking about how easy it is to replace a broken one under warranty, that made me look at others. I don't want to have to be replacing them as often as I'm reading about.

Had two, Gave one away and traded the other for my Falcon Expert. I have the better rod now!
I broke one way to easy, got it replaced and then traded it, are they good, sure. Are there better rods, I think so!
Good luck!

go on some of the on line tackle stores and read the comments..... lots of broken rods

How the heck are people breaking all these rods? I'm what most would call a large dude and I've never broken a rod.
I have a Largemouth at home....sometimes she lets me go fishing.

I have several and have broken a couple. Not just broke either I mean blown up into multiple pieces.I agree Falcon or Dobyns is a better choice BUT Denali rods are the best I have used yet these rods are light, sensitive and strong strong. I have been really really impressed with mine to the point i have purchased 6 in the last few weeks to replace my Falcons and Dobyns. Priced right too.

If you break one just take it back and they give you a new one. You can break any rod but not all will replace it no questions asked. I have Falcon Kistler and Carrot. By far the Carrots are the most sensitive.

Some hold up very well and some break. I have a 7ft mh that I use for Carolina rigging and it is doing fine. They are very sensitive.

I love mine. Very light and sensitive. Use it with a Shimano Chronarcy 50MG. That combination is very light and sensitive.
