Or BassPro will do it also.

Where did you buy it so I know not to shop there.

Funny, one would think from reading the forums that only p.o.s. Gloomis's break on the hookset, or anytime else for that matter.
Guess other brands of rods break once and a while too.
Who would have thunk it!

HUH..though it was only Kistler that broke..

Bought at FUN-N-SUN in Hurst, not happy with them at all. WILL NOT SHOP THERE ANYMORE!!!

Shoulda bought a Hendrix rod and there would be no questions asked.

My 21 carrot gold stik snap on the hookset today. The fish was only 2 and a half pounds. I'll never buy another one.

I've had Kistlers snap on hookset, and one even on a snappy cast. I think that's a problem with lightweight, ultra-sensitive rods. The blank walls are thin and brittle, and leave little room for manufacturing error.

I now use Falcon Cara and Expert rods in the boat, and rods I've assembled myself from All-Star and Loomis blanks. I also have a garage full of old Falcon Classics, and 'bout half dozen Kistlers that I may take out again just to see what happens.

I love Falcons... they've never turned on me.
