Re: Backpack rods

Hey Tom
I know what you mean about those break down rods. They do just that, break.. I took one on my first trip to Quetico it did make it though the trip but only because I had duct tape and a spare tip.
Now this is what I have done. I bought 2, nice two peice rods that are identical. I take the two tip end and one of the base end. As I have found that most of the time it is the tip end which breaks. I know that makes for having two poles when we aren't in the great northwoods. But this way back here in Indiana when my son and I go fishing we have matching poles. I think it makes him think that he can fish right up there with the big boys. The tip end don't really take up that much room and I can get all three in my pole case.
