Abusing your rod

Check the abuse these chaps give rods and the one explains why so many tip section break for "no reason what so ever"
I cant even imagine bending a rod like that!

You can clearly see which part of the rod takes the pressure.  (clap)

Thanks for the video, but sad to watch, however if they never did this we would not have decent rods today...
I do not think that I will be able to do that to a rod

I must say, he got me thinking I have unhooked flies with the tip of my rod many a time, and that is a bit  duh as a fly is R5 and a rod significantly more.... At least I learned something...
