I am sure some of you have seen the tackle test on these unbreakable rods in Angling Times.
I'm old enough to remember similar comments years ago when fibreglass was concieved. They said you could beat down nettles and drive cars over them, just like these new abortions.
Don't they understand that a fishing rod is meant to be used for fishing? In over 50 years of angling I have never had a fishing rod broken when I have used it for fishing. To see a "fishing rod" bent into the most ridiculous shapes to prove how good it is is an example of how stupid some people can be. The better a rod is for fishing , the more likely it can be broken by actions that have got nothing to do with fishing!!!
I have felt one of these rods and the action is awful, much like a piece of spaghetti. A top class carbon rod will beat these lengths of decreptitude any day.
