I got it at cabelas and it lasted 4 months until a 4 once it an eye and bent and broke it can i still return it without a recite
Let me understand what you're saying here. A 4-ounce weight was reeled up until it hit the top in which case the top popped(broke) and you kept reeling in until the Rod bent enough that it broke in half?
Assuming that is what happened,
Dennis T is on the right track.
"Length means distance in a designated Surf rod."
However, if you use a low diameter Braided line (such as Power Pro 10/40), you can purchase an 8FT rod and get the same casting distance as a 12-14FT rod.
The best part?
An 8FT fishing outfit can be used on Inshore waters/Piers/Jetty’s and not be considered "over-kill".
In my opinion, look seriously at a Ugly Stik Big Water spinning rod Model BWS 1101 ($54.99)
And match that rod with a Daiwa Black Gold Spinning Reel Model BG 15 ($75).
This would be an excellent combo that (if taken care of) would last a LONG, LONG, time.
Leary of my recommendation?

Hope this helps? Good fishing!
PS: "10/40" designates the line has the diameter of 10LB Mono with the strength of 40LB Mono.
A Tip: When using Braided lines you MUST use a leader of Mono, otherwise, if you get snagged/hung-up on the bottom due to the braids strength you will have to cut the line, (losing your expensive braided line!). A Flurocarbon leader is very beneficial because it is almost invisible to fish.

Did I Do Good On This Purchase? And he doesn't know a flipping thing about fishing tackle. I almost wet myself when I saw that price on it. My hands were shaking when I handed him the money. Oh and the best part It was mounted on a Ugly Stick. |
