Sorry but gear has to be tougher than this. Also they do not have a model to match the specs of why I bought the 8 foot Heavy Plus in the first place. If they decide it was not a quality issue I can purchase any model 50% off. If they decide it was a quality issue they'll provide a free replacement. Warranty requires me to pay $60 to ship back to Shimano where they'll then decide what to do. I'm extremely careful with my rods and have never had this issue with the other ~20 rods I have used for seasons now. The rod just snapped about 6 inches from the end while in the rod sleeve. I picked up a new 8 foot Heavy Plus over the winter and took it out less than about 15 times this spring throwing baits well within the lure rating for the rod, Always stored and transported with a heavy fabric rod sleeve having the large plastic bumper at the tip for protection. Comments: These rod blanks are extremely Fragile, Beware! I see other posts here about this and its true.
