What causes a fishing pole's rod to become weak and brittle?
Never had it happen like this before, I was out fishing on the creek bank, just hooked a worm on, tossed my line in. I couldn’t get a nibble or anything for 15 minutes so I decided to reel it in, check my bait, and recast. Well, this is when it all went to hell; I was reeling in and caught a snag somewhere in a creek, I tried to just pull and tug on the fishing rod as if there were a fish on my line, having only 10 pound test line on my fishing pole, the line would have snapped before anything severe happened or at least I thought! The tip of my pole snapped off, just splintered like a twig.
So out of curiosity, what makes a fishing pole so brittle? Anything I can do to prevent it? My fishing rod was “granite”
what is it made of? wood? if it is an old poll the protective varnish could have worn off enabling the wood to absorb moisture and also to become dried out buy heat and sunlight
Yeah sorry, I was putting the info up on it probably soon s you were answering. It’s made from “Granite” I guess. One of them new fangled fishing poles ya know.
hmmm, I’m not sure since granite is supposed to being some strong stuff but i have had tips break off of poles before as well but usually only if the tip was one of those glow in the dark tips
there carbon or fibre glass right ? they just get weak and brittle after youve used them for a long time, everythings got a wearing point and the fishing rods just get worn down and the contineous stress and weight on the rod eventually makes it weak
