Broke my wilson live fibre rod


Recommended Posts

hello fellow hookers,I recently decided I needed a new snapper come winter whiting combo, where I finally went for a wilson texalium live fibre 4-10kg with a shimano stradic CI4 4000 with 20lb power pro braid and I set the drag at 4kg. Anyway last saturday we headed to the steamer channel out off hughes, when we got to our first mark it looked promising and where straight onto the snapper. I had landed couple of fish in the first 2 drifts, both in the 80+cm mark. On the 3rd drift I was straight onto another good fish when snap, my new rod snapped just above the bottom eye. managed to get the fish to mid water before spitting the hook. What i wanted to know was has anyone had a similar problem with the wilson live fibre rods before. I have since returned the rod and i have been told wilson will replace the rod, but my concern is will it happen again.
