Don’t know what is happening to peoples rods but I have given my aircurves some punishment my casting technique is frankly awful as my upper body is not flexible at all so my 140 yard casts are just giving it a pure thump and had no problems with them

Hi All

I'll weigh in here and most likely get slated, but hey ho let's give this a try

"Has anyone had these snap/break? As Greys seems to have a reputation for breaking rods"

A while ago in the world of carp fishing there was a magician, not only did he make some amazing wands (carp rods) but he used to test many others by basically breaking them and testing them to their limits.
Due to the onset of winter and a family feud greys got the bulk of his fury. Which is a shame as Grey's rods are top quality and well worth the price.
His name has been consigned to the dark regions of the carp world legacy, but he was the SON of a mr HARRIS

Best
Jon

Agreed. Great rods and so easy to use. Casting solid bags has never been so easy but they are also great to play fish on.
I have the 12ft 3.25lb TC and woukd recommend them.

Bought a set of 12ft 3.25tc myself last year and have caught fish to just under 30lb on them.
Fantastic rods for the price, they can chuck a 4oz lead 120yards+ no problem and have a lovely playing action to them. Highly recommend.
