I had a good rod break too on me when it shouldn't have. I have talked to guys at bass pro shops and they said my bass pro shop rod Power Plus Graphite reinforced should not have broken after playing a Lunker bass to bank like it did at the third ring.
I think both of us just got bad rods. It happens. I can replace mine this week when I go to Memphis Bass Pro Shop. They have assured me they will replace it with no questions asked.
It wasn't as expensive as the rod your talking about but I think you got a bad blank. or the glasswork was just wrong.
It wasn't your fishing technique but the product. Sometimes we get bad products. They are mass produced now days and 1 in 1000 might have a bad small glitch that just causes them to break or defect.
Just my thoughts since I had the same thing happen recently.
