Comment: a small dink in the rod plus the cold weather could definitely do it.

Comment: pirougejoe - you are probably right. Bait shop was puzzled how I can broke both rods.
Gsx rod have been abused lot of monster size fish. (12lbs brown, 45lbs salmon, 7lbs largemouth bass, and 14 pound steelhead.) meanwhile buzz rod has more abused than Gsx. (used at saltwater too) that is reason why I brought gsx rod for keep my older rod alive for couple of years. But I guess I was wrong.

Comment: Where both rods "veterans" of several large fish battles? If so it is possible that micro fractures could have formed in the rod blanks due to prior stress. Also freezing temperatures can make rods brittle.

Comment: I am not sure what causes that.. perhaps a defect in the material construction coupled with cold weather.. it could be several variables. I too had this happen to me while Stripper Fishing in the Canal...I had a wicked strike and hook up and the rod I was using just snaped at the cork handle about 5" up from the reel mount.
Took it Rod store and they could not prvide an explaination as to why.. If I recall correctly the guy what did you do step on it?

Nope... just stripper fishing.
