Heliums rods are light, but are they durable?

Hey Bundy after some research, GLX breakage mostly happens to long rods, especially fly rods. You rarely hear any cases of 6'6 GLX breaking thats dued to fishing related.

On the MBR's, LOOMIS makes the GLX tip a little thicker than the IMX, for some durablity purposes. On longer rods, its kinda difficult to strengthen it without added weight, ususally leads to breakage while fighting 15 pounders.
