    Default Video-rods tested to the breaking point

    Last year/the year before, someone posted a video showing rods being tested to the breaking point. Did a search but was not able to find it. Anyone remember that video? if so, could you give me the link if you still have it handy? Would like to send it to a friend of mine. Thanks. George

    This is a test of an Echo rod that was stressed to the breaking point intentionally. I believe that it is a 9' 10wt 4pc rod.

    It may have been the Echo rod testing at Rajeff Sports, here is a link to their youtube site it has several videos of the test as well as some other stuff.

    If Rajeff needs a "Rajeff-patented Scrotulus Protection Device" that long it may explain why my casting is so much shorter than his...

    Just sayin'...

    What really cracked me up about the word is my very close connection to the Pacific green rattlesnake, which the Audobon book only lists as "Western Rattlesnake," found throughout eastern WA and surrounding states. In central WA while going to college they were everywhere and I really liked them. Nearly harmless, they took tremendous hassling to trigger a strike...

    Their Genus and species, Crotalus viridus, sounds an awful lot like Scrotulus device... If you are inclined toward thinking out of the box... or around the corner... or somewhere else in general!
