Graphite rods

[road]

unlike you kent I didn't have a custom rod made, but I did just purchase a new IM8. But as some of you know I have been looking for some time now. Before I did that was one of my main questions. Will this break in the cold. I asked the the sales reps, the dealers, and the manufactures. And each said it was possible, but that ther would have to be some kind of defect or damage to the rod. So i laid out the bucks and bought one. Also everyone said if it broke during cold weather to bring it back and they would replace it free of charge. I know they ment during the warrenty period. Like most of you I have my share of brokem rods FB2 has seen to that!!! I bet there are at least 15 in the basement with no tips on them, some with even the second eye gone. Man to be young again!! But this is a sweet rod and I can feel the slightest touch to the line. If it breaks I would not hesitate to get another. Just my 2 cents of this, I love these graphites rods!!!
