Daiwa Rod breaking taking with it my Stella 8000SW
G'day fellow fishos. Thought I'd share my recent experience off the north west coast of Western Australia. Lost the lot due to a faulty Daiwa Monster Mesh PE3-6 rod.
Enjoy & tight lines!

Damn, I'm sorry for the loss. What kind of fish took it?
Re: Daiwa Rod breaking taking with it my Stella 8000SW
Still not 100% sure but we were getting sharked quite a bit so most likely was a shark. Yeah wasn't reel happy at the time but can see the funny side of it now. My mates commentary is superb! Daiwa did replace the rod for me though and a mate with some good contacts within Shimano Australia managed to get me a new reel for half price, so pretty stoked with the outcome. But cheers for the condolences, wasn't my best day.

Dude that sucks....
Re: Daiwa Rod breaking taking with it my Stella 8000SW
I would have probably jumped in and been dragged to my death if I had been able to reach the rod.
