Well i was fishing at a lake i had never fished before in some woods and i never see anyone there so i thew a wacky rig in there 5 minuates later something took my bait and ran and i had my drag on medium and it was making it scream and my line was 10 LB Test and my rod could handle 75 LB and it SNAPPED IT IN HALF!!!!!

and it was my favorite rod


Could anyone refer me to a good pole??


And what in GODS NAME WAS IN THAT POND!!


im thinking about taking my 150 LB Ugly stick there lol and seeing what SNAPPED MY ROD!


I want vengance....


Anyways can anyone tell me a good rod for bass fishing?

what lake were you fishing in, i saw that you are in the Jacksonville area. Catfish, gator, need more info?

Richard sounds like the rod had some hidden damage otherwise the line would have broken. As far as a good rod I'd say it depends on what your willing to spend, for under $100.00 you can get some great rods , I myself like the Skeet Reese rods!!!! Hope this helps ya!!

I saw no Flaws in the pole psg and ram as far as i know there was just bass??

and is is just the rod or is it the reel also??

Can you say....Loch Ness?? LOL

It had to be something bigger...A bass isn't going to break a rod that's rated for 75 lbs. Your 10 pound test would of broke first before your rod. To come to think of it, it had to be a defect in your rod. You can get a really nice bass rod for under 100...you something in the 7ft med to med-hvy action, with a moderate to faster taper...with a line rating of 10-20 lbs and a lure rating of 3/4-1oz...remeber, your going to be targeting bass...so make sure you get a freshwater, bass rod. Anything bigger, or more stout, you wont be able to cast light, small lures.

TFO has just introduced a line of rods designed by Gary Loomis that retail around $100. Haven't tried one but if Gary designed it, it should be pretty good!

I really dont know what it was, It was basically a wooded area in some woods about 20Mi from my friends house i was the only one there and if someting big can be in like a 200x200 foot pond i dont know what in gods name it is and the rod i had before i do not think was a fresh water rod.

Maybe it was a log and you just got a little too excited...

I'd recommend a Berkley Cherrywood rod, you can get one for around $30, I have 2 of them and they're great for the money.

Great suggestion Bass or Bass. The Cherrywood is an excellent rod for its price range. If you want to get into the $50 to $75 range, try the All Star rods, another top pick.

Thanks all for the suggestions! When i get money from the yard sale im having i will look into some of these!
