10 year old thread hahaha

Yeah I was reading a comment and was like "hey me too."  It was my own comment

I'd also mention that the breaking strain of your line almost certainly has zip to do with the rod breaking.

I'm starting to think that myself after this year. So what is the point the line rating.
I guess like the fisherman, catch a 10lb fish, claim it's 20lb, they do the same, create a rod with 10lb rating and claim it's 20lb.
What could go wrong.

It's funny this thread is 10 years old when Shimano stopped lifetime warranty and they are still honoring it.
Mind you my rod was probably 15 years old.

agree 100%.  Most line ratings are smoke & mirrors to make some anglers feel good.
