3 months agoSo, hard pass? Was going to Upcountry this weekend to get one, but now not so eager
4 months agoAll I’ll say is play follow the leader with the original designer and there will be no issues.
4 months agoI’ve broken 2 consecutive euro rods on the first day out with them. I think it’s a sign
4 months agoYup my contact 3 started to do the same thing in about the same number of trips, that’s the fastest I’ve sold a rod after getting it
4 months agoLet’m hear it… I don’t need to tell ya what I’d replace that with, but it’s half the cost, way more rod, and superior customer service 😉
4 months agoMine melted in a hot car. Black SUV with Smith Rod holder. Tip sticking out over the dash. They sent me a new one in a few days. Told them they should put a warning label on the rod tube. Rod is fantastic. Solid tip is just too heat sensitive.
4 months agoAlso if you leave it in a hot car it’ll twist on its own, they’re super heat sensitive
4 months agoSoldarini hydro full contact is a great rod for the price, highly recommend
4 months agoDiamondback 1 wt would shock you , put up some big fish out west on it…. Haven’t had much exposure to the T&T
4 months agoLooks like a torsion break. I’ve Beat the absolute shit out of 5-6 contact 2s and have never seen anything like that.
4 months agoThey had a serious manufacturing issue with some of the 2wts. I do know-it’s been fixed. They will get you a new one pretty quick.
4 months ago@kingfisher680 what do you put your rod into going from spot to spot? I have had that happen if it’s in a car or in the back of a truck. Especially if it’s a bumpy ride it will get caught In a crack then the graphite compresses
