You know, maybe if you didn't catch so many fish these rods would not be breaking so often. Something to think about the warranty deal is not that great on the $100 rods. I like them but I like them even better at 50-60% off retail.I'd be happy to sell you a 6' medium action St Croix Premier spinning rod AND the broken 5W fly rod when back from warranty service. Both at noticeable discounts. Let me know...
Of course there is a very good chance those Cabelas rods are St. Croix.
