there hasn't been one post in this entire thread of how to properly lift the weight so as not to break the rod. i can snap almost any rod production or custom by lifting the weight in a quick jerking motion and virtually high sticking the rod with weight attached. to properly lift the weight and check the action of the rod under a load attach the weight and lift it slowly loading the rod at about a 45 or less degrees don't bounce the weight just lift it slowly and do your photo's. we test all our rods before shipping using this method. yet still we have replaced a few rods due to customers doing improper lifts with weights attached......rick
