Fenwick
I love fenwick rods cuz of their sensitivity, but has anypne else had a problem with the tips breaking? Happened to me while I was moving, then happened to my friend when he tried to cast a quarter ounce jig. Just wonderin if this is just bad luck or what?

I have the Eagle GT and the biggest problems I have had is with the guides bending on it. They are super thin, and I have considered having all of them replaced with something more sturdy.

Yeah, I wondered if that was the biggest problem. Since purchasing that rod, I have purchased 3 St. Croix's and I honestly don't see me buying another Fenwick, although I'm sure the higher end Fen's are just fine.
