I bought the 6'7" M carrot yesterday a few hours away at BPS. Didn't fish at all last night, and was eager to get up this morning and put some line in the water. Here is the scenario: Two uncles and a cousin have been giving me hell about dropping 150 bucks on a rod (a bright orange one at that). We wake up and head to the pier in Pentwater, MI at 6 AM. 6:15 we arrive. 6:17 I make my first cast. 6:17:01 i realize that I've just cast my rod into two pieces. I can't blame my family for laughing at me for two hours, before I decided to walk a mile home, broken pole in hand. After reading about similar issues--just now--I think I would rather firebomb E21, than send my pole back. I feel pretty duped.
