Rod Breakage

We have been in the fly fishing business for over 30 years and have seen the ground breaking developments in fly rod technology that give us the gravity defying high performance rods that we have on the market today. Modern fly rods have become extremely light but very strong using the latest space age materials. However they do break from time to time. The majority of these times it is down to human error.

Whether we like to admit it or not fly rods do not break on their own! It is usually down to some form of error or action by the angler. This may be hitting it on a branch of a tree, leaning it against a wall, a heavy tungsten bead hitting the blank while casting - any of these can cause damage to the fly rod blank. The damage may not be noticed immediately but any of these impacts to the blank can cause a hairline fracture or slight damage that may cause the rod to break during normal use - ie when you are playing a fish or casting.

We have found it very rare that a rod will break due to fault of manufacture - if this is the case it will usually break in the first outing.

However if you do break your rod we have you covered!
