I posted a week or so ago about repairing my mate Alan's 13 ft power float rod.a Diawa...........as it was his favourite rod........In the process, I reduced it from a 13ft rod to a 12ft. But I mentioned he landed a 15lb carp on its first outing so it looks like the repair might hold up.
But it was was his birthday and like any good angler does given half a chance, he went and bought another 13ft power float also a Diawa a few days ago and he used it for the first time this week (20th)
"Well done," I said as I heard him playing and landing the first fish on his new rod. He walked up to where I was fishing holding the tip of his new rod.......the last 12 inches. "its broken on the first fish " It was a 4lb carp. Brand new rod.First outing First fish.
Alan is a well-experienced angler..... a bloke who knows how to play a fish he also uses a very long-handled net. Oh dear
So he is taking it back to see what the shop says. Any thoughts ?
