Impressive break  is that it Martin 2 the Monty 0 now Strange place for it to fail at, it shouldn't have. Probably the whippings thread being there along with a knock or two in its years and you get a failure due to the compression on the blank - the whipping thread doesn't allow the part under it to flex in the same way as the part uncovered, a difference in global modulus and a stress raiser has been present there from a knock or manufacturing relic. A nice bang it made im sure  |

Havent used the other one It's had pike to 2 oz under 30lbs. Give it a go. Far nicer rod to play fish on than the whisker. |
