Rods that can handle a 150-pound tarpon with ease can break. But they usually don’t break when playing a fish. They break in car doors, power windows, tailgates, ceiling fans, or they get stepped on by a fishing buddy. There are countless other ways but these are the most common.

Tom Rosenbauer of Orvis has an answer that will get you back on the water quicker than you thought.
