Joe,
Easy to say for a man gettin 10 bamboo rods soon! Just funning ya bud.

Starfish,
Seriously though you should go and enjoy the rod and I hope you find a lunker big enough to break it. Reminder though, if you are snagged in a tree with very heavy leader/tippet, pull the rod straight back (not bent) or you'll put undue strain on the break area.
