magnesium carolinia rod

[bob kepner]

Was fishing lake erie, and had a 3lb smallie hit and rod snapped like a 22 rifle. The hookset was a moderate one. After inspection of the rod it looked like a blow-out. The broken ends looked like the top of a tree , all bloomed out. Has anyone else had this problem ?

I use my mag worm for pitching jigs. I like the light weight on them. Sometimes you do break them. I have broken two so far. Kistler's customer service is excelent. They had the rods back to me within a week.
