shimano raider rod
Submitted by Plug on Thu, 2016-01-28 12:00
Hi
I have an Ian miller raider travel rod 2-4kg 7ft 3" and the midde section just below where it connects to the top piece breaks. I am on my second rod due to this.
I was wondering if any one else has had problems.
The photo isn't very clear but a small piece goes above the broken piece.

yep i had the same type snap unexpectedly.
was just snagged just testing left and right and it let go about 2 foot up.
2 of us saw it and was pretty suprised as there was not much pressure being applied.
edit sorry mine was a 1 piece.

i think a new section for
i think a new section for the rod is $30 so won't break the budget.
last one broke pulling up a small brassy trevally half way through an exmouth trip.
