Worst rod ever, now it is manufactured by someone else.

My son bought me one of these rods 6 years ago and was a great rod, still using today. I bought a second one this year as it was so good, however the manufacturer has changed and it snapped the second time I used it. I was given a replacement, which has now snapped twice. The previous rod handles all the fish this one will not. Please do not waste your money on this junk, enen the cloth sleeve to hold the rod was poor quality.
