Haha, I believe the Smith agent would have something to say about that!  ;D

But the GT in the pic doesn't look like a fish that could cause that kind of damage to a 52ex.......  :o

The HIIB Rocket is a rod I am considering for Oman. Mind sharing your observations on the causes for those breakages? You can PM me if thats more appropriate.  ;)
