Last year in the early spring we snapped one at the gorge. Right in the middle of fighting the first mack of the morning. Imagine my dad holding the handle and reeling, with me holding the other half of the rod while still attached to the fish. We landed him. Just a little mack, but man was it cold that day. As I understand it a good high quality rod like a lamiglass is best for extreme cold weatther fishing. I use a high quality graphite rod for ice fishing, but I am sure these rods are built with cold in mind. Hey kent, you gotta bust that rod somehow. Might as well be fighting a big old cold water mack right? Could be worse. I have busted rods in car windows, truck tailgates, ect. Besides, makes a great excuse to spend another $100.00 on a new rod.
