When i went to cast it basically exploded when the weight began to put pressure on the rod. it was still all stuck together but shattered like a bamboo. i have a feeling it got a crack while being moved around and then just gave way with abit of force.

picked up a penn powerstix pro yesterday so hopefully its not my technique :(
