I'm gutted. I bought a 13/17 Shakespeare LXL Superteam rod from a very generous forum member for a bargain price only a few months ago.
It quickly became a dearly beloved rod that I used to good success. I should put ‘my’ in inverted commas as I believe it was once a cherished rod for the forum member who sold it to me as a favour too, and so in a way I have been treating it as though it still belongs to him. I wrote reviews on here on this rod and loved it.
My dad has just trod on it working in the garage and crunched/snapped the second section beyond repair so I can no longer use it even at 13’, though it was at 17’ where I found most use for it on the pegs I fish.
I’m not going to get too angry about it but I am upset as I had been using this rod at 17’ and found it perfect for fishing a stick. I’m also very sorry that the rod that was almost gifted to me is now broken in pieces. Like I say, gutted.
