So i got my new frog lures in and wanted to go try them out at my local lake. I knew it held some big large mouth bass in it so i figured id give it a couple throws. by my third cast a giant bass had taken my frog. the pole snap right in the middle. my cirrus graphite pole is now history as for the fish, i got him in and here he is. bad news i owe my wife a new pole... lol

Shimano?? Go swap that thing out. Even better wait dor the new ones and then swap it

Might be the Shakespear rod. I could be wrong but they make one too. For that matter if new see if can return. Older I'm not sure might have to just get new rod. Hopefully someone can help if still under warranty!

yea crappy shakespeare. its all good gunna give her one of my g loomis poles. but i am going to call them in the morning its only a month old

i use shakespeare rods almost religiously and have never had a problem out of one
