I was out fishing today, Two Rods one was a Bze 11.9 . I only used this rod a handfull of time's , Always with 2oz weights and i only use it for light near cast ! On my first cast today it snapped with very little power put into my cast just about half way up the 2'nd joint

Has anybody had this problem ?
P.S. it was a Pen Mag that i had on it !
