Oh those catana's aren't the best, I've snapped the 8ft bream rod on a decent salmon at Wangim, and also know of 2 others that have snapped tips off, the Roland Hocking 7'6 is really nice rod if you haven't tried it yet
Apart from this rod braking on a high sticking, never had an issue with catanas, great rods for the price. Really like the daiwa legalis rods too for the price 👌
@@LandFishTV If you do, a fine toothed saw and some wet sanding on the spot where you cut the rod above the reel seat leaves a nice finish that almost looks intentional. Gives rigidity to the butt end of the new rod blank.
