Unless the line was wrapped around the rod
I agree with you in a part, if we stick to “fishing theory” 100% all the time, no rod is supposed to snap. Is that possible? that’s why I bought a rod with limited lifetime warranty even though I knew “limited” can be explained at manufacturer’s own discretion any way they want
If you pull the line with your rod POINTING STRAIGHT AT the snag, your rod/guides would NEVER be loaded/touched.
Do you have leader on?
Well, I was trying hard not to put any load on the tip of rod when pulling the line like I did a million times before, it was just bad luck maybe. But I wonder, as I mentioned in my first thread, if the low temperature could be a factor as it is my first time ever fishing in such a low temp, and the temp is the only difference from my other millions of times pulling a snagged line
I used a fluro leader
If you never YANK the rod like millions of others I have seen on the river,
Then your rod must have got damaged at some point without you noticing it which is quite common.
If the rod were to have manufacturing damages, it would have been broken during the 1st couple loadings.
One of the most common way to damage your rod is when the splitshots on your setup hit your rod when the leader breaks.
Look at the bright side, you now have a legitmate excuse to get a new rod
