Slipped out for what I thought might be my last day of fly fishing for the year. Didn’t catch many fish but every one I caught was a really nice bull 'gill. Nice enough I didn’t keep any. I was fishing my Redington RS2 #3wgt.
Flipped a Bugger up into the shallows and a bass about 14 inches grabbed it and came out of the water. Then he made a run parallel to the bank and my rod just snapped off about a foot above the handle. While I’m trying to figure out what happened, he broke the leader. So here I am with half my broken rod in the water and nothing on the other end. Fotunately for me (and my warranty) I was able to inch the line in and bring it up. Can’t see a mark on it - just broke.
Funny part is my poor old spinning and baitcasting outfits just get thrown in the back of the truck. Flyrods get all wiped down and put in a case. Maybe I’m spoiling them?
Oh well - I’ll send them the kindling and we’ll see how good the warranty is.
Well, I don’t know J. It says send it to them with 20 bucks and they’ll decide. I liked the warranty the guy from Scheel’s gave me when I bought a spinning rod.
“I don’t care if you fall down with it in the parking lot and break it. Bring it back and I’ll give you a new one.”
