Okuma rod defect

[jlrjoz]

I purchased two GLT rods at the Niagara sport show this year. First one broke while being rigged with a lure. Called customer service 25$ with shipping. No thanks. Second one broke yesterday in the exact same place in much the same manner. Obvious defect! For rods designed for heavy use downriggers. These snapped like twigs just under the second eye. Okuma service rep said yep 25$ with no receipt. So these are the last okuma rods i will ever buy

Bought 4 new this year also. Two from fish usa and two from Amazon. Same thing one of the two from amazon broke same spot below 2nd eye before I got it out of the bag. Returned and replaced no cost to me within 3 days. Just waiting and hoping the others hold.
