Today was bittersweet on the water. I was having a great day! Catching em left and right on a craw tube in junebug. ANNNDD I caught my new personal best, which i estimated to weigh 4lbs

However, in my excitement to land my prize, i put too much pressure on the tip as it hung from my line and pop, there goes the rod tip.

Yup, dumb mistake, I broke my favorite 7' MF St Croix LTB Teaser. This was slightly sentimental as it was my first high end rod, and was the reason Ive REALLY gotten into fishing lol

 

On that note, I will be in the market for a new MF casting rod to use for soft plastics! haha

Ill post in the Flea Market so check it out or PM for me details of what im looking for

Nice man, looks to be around two and a half pounds. Sucks about your rod though..Iv been wanting a St. Croix for a while now. Bills suck..

the one on the left looks 2 and a half?

they are different fish, they one on the right i know was only about 2 lbs, the one of the left is def atleast 4

Nice fish man! How long have you had your st. CROIX? They have a really good warranty program with stellar service I would look into that before having to buy another one.

You do know it is possible you can fix that rod right? Check out YouTube and Google

i figured it might be dont but would it be as strong as before? cus i dont think i can just retip this, atleast a foot and some inches snapped off lol

Even stronger, there's video where guys have taken a cheap rod cut a section and expoxied it all together then wrapped it with black line

. This is just a random video I found, there's more like it
