You broke 2 x 10-15kg tcurves?
Wow. I love mine and have always described them as unbreakable. Have put them through some serious punishment too.

Weird, my 902 Coastal is pretty much flawless and has handled some crazy circumstances.

Re: Aust Salmon - Broke my Fishing Rod
Thrashed the bejesus out of my 10-15kg tcurve 9' for a fair while now...she's still going strong. I'd recommend them.

I high rodded my shimano coastal light adjusting the drag and the same thing happened, I'm slowly changing all my rods to composite to replace the carbon rods, I feel the blended blanks are more forgiving than 100% carbon.

Re: Aust Salmon - Broke my Fishing Rod
I too have snapped a t-curve and yes it was on a Aust salmon off the heads in bermagui. Brand new it was and I was fuming,fish was taking line drag was not locked and rod was down low,Was a inshore travel 5-10kg. Got it replaced and have caught decent fish off the new one without a drama. It was obviously faulty

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad
