I hope that Spiralite makes things right for you. Stephenk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loganodum38 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Was supposed to hear back the next day......crickets *update* while I agree I have used it for a year, a rod break like that definitely is not my fault. Especially with a bait that light (compared to the rods weight range) and on a light lib cast at a dock. It generous of them to offer the courtesy of 40% off an additional rod.

Seminole Slide Swimmer Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 While this really sucks I have to agree with Spiralite's assessment of what happened. For a rod to break in that spot under light load there almost HAD to have been some prior recent damage to that spot causing the eventual failure. This is only further backed up by the fact you've had the rod for a year and thrown baits without this happening prior. Anybody else fishing with you recently that may have stepped on it etc.?..... For a little background we work with high stress graphite in my job similar to whats used in high end rods. If there's a defect it will fail the first time its under load, every time. If you've given that rod even moderate use over the last year it wouldn't have made it this far without failure if it came from the factory that way. Sorry this happened and hope you get it worked out. Sounds like the company is at least trying to work with you. Badfish562 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB227 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I purchased a Maverick 8’0” MH at the Sac Sportsman Show. Took it home, attached new Lexa 300 WN and on the first test of the rod bend “snap” it broke. Soon after I read this post and was not very optimistic about getting help. But, I was wrong Spiralite was awesome, replaced my rod quickly and upgraded me to a Rouge 8’3” MH. The Rouge is amazing. Throws 8” Hudds, 9” Slammers and 8” BBZ’s with ease. I love my Spiralite Rod.

Bay Arean Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I think I’ll stay away from spiralite after reading Logan’s situation. I guess it’s dobyns for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
