More good stuff - thanks.

Seawolf - I didn't mean to say infer that braid "directly" causes rod breaks in all instances. I was just trying to corralate the fact that when mono was the primary line in use you very rarely saw blanks fail. In all my years I saw less than a handfull break while using mono - usually the caster was a fault. Blank failure started with the first use of braid in freshwater - when using it the bass pros were popping graphite blanks on the hookset - if they used mono those same rods held up nicely. Nowadays the new surf blanks pop with alarming regularity - in most every case braid was being used. Mono is definitly more forgiving when it comes to blanks breaking. Maybe rods failing is now just considered "the cost of doing business"?
