i got a new berkley lightning rod for christmas and i put 10 lb cajon red on it and as i barley pulled on it to check where the rod tip bent it snapped below the third eye. Are these rods crap or do you think it might of had a crack in it. i came from wal-mart and i was not pulling hard at all. I am gald i wasn't setting the hook on a monster only to have the rod break and snap my line. I am going to take it back to wally world and get a refund but need opions on if it was the rod itself that sucked or if you think it had a default like some idiot at the store was trying to bend it inhalf and cracked it then put it back.

i have a lightning rod in medium action and it works fine. this one was a 6'0 mh.
