Anyone had to get one replaced yet. I broke about 8in's off the tip of a 8'6XH on a fish last week. I emailed Mark Rogers and he said someone would contact me, no word yet. I have another 8'6H okuma, and it will wear you out burning 10's. Way to soft, half the rod is bent during a figure 8. Just ordered a 8'6XH st. croix, I think I will like it for burning and throwing dawgs.
