I went fishing this weekend and broke my rod. I was hoping someone might have some insight into how it happened as this is the first rod I have broke without the help of a vehicle.

It was pretty windy out and as such I was casting herder than normal (I don't think hard enough to cause it to break). I snagged a juniper on my back cast and didn't realize until I was casting it out and when I felt the snag I then felt a snap and the rod broke between the 2nd and 3rd guides.

And to add insult to injury the only other rod I had was a 6ft 3wt which folded from the wind and my day was done.
