Since you dropped your sponsors you seem more relaxed on the water. Your videos are more realistic with all the ups and downs to fishing. Good stuff. Keep it up.
I had a brand new rod snap in the middle just like that during a moderate cast. I took pictures and sent it to the company and they eventually sent me a new one. Keep on truckin on 🤙🏻
I had one break on a fish last month, granted it was a GT but still it shouldn't have happened using PE4 line on a rod designed and marketed to catch giant european wels catfish (they can grow upwards of 200 lbs..) So thanks for the advice I'm going to send them an e-mail
I like to check out the rods with an OCD mentality at shops before purchasing, looking for things like minor marks or scratches that probably been banged around from shipping. I also bring a Q tip to wipe around the inner guides to check for chips in the inserts. Just a little tip
point your rod to the right [4 o'clock] or to the left [8 o'clock] instead of up when fighting a jack. You can make them change direction and zig zag them in. I caught a jack 34.4 lbs off the wall at Good Sam on 8 lb Ande Tournament in just 20 minutes. His initial run was 300 yards.
I've done lots of freshwater and saltwater. Nothing fights like an open saltwater fish. Albacore, yellow fin, yellowtail, even barracudas. A pelagic fish swims across the oceans. Tuna will circum-navigate the Atlantic or Pacific. No fat, out of shape tunas. No bass or trout will tear off 800 yards of line from a 70 wide reel at full drag.
yes I'm very curious about MHX blanks. The problem with SW Florida is there are no good tackle stores within a 2 hour drive so you can't see and touch before you buy. Most shops around here cater to the masses of inexperianced people who will fish with whatever, not the discerning angler.
Thanks to you and Justin, placed my first order for NLBN. Georgia coast fishing, but I haven’t been home (central Florida) in a while. Can’t wait to see how the Gheenoe trailer handles a 1000 mile round trip. (LOL! Two spare wheels/tires, backup hub and bearings)
The rods were most likely damaged previously… could have been anything from a jig hitting the blank during a cast, the rod falling, shipping, etc. The weak spot eventually fails. Oh well, its an excuse to buy new gear :-)
I worked in a tackle shop for years and a jig wacking the blank is usually the culprit. It causes a crack that you don’t see and eventually fails during a heavy cast.
My biggest fish is a 70lb 50 inch jack and they fight exactly how they fought against you. For me at least they are hard fish to reel in. He was a top dog im telling you, I was only 9 years old and my dad and I reeled that in and it was bigger then me!
Found your channel from one of the Googans a long time ago (I think Jon B). Seeing you fish Florida inshore and the surf has gotten me out to the coast way more and I'm absolutely loving it. Always love my Largemouth but some of those game fish in salt are absolutely a wicked experience to hook into. Thanks for all you've done with the channel, bud!
Can’t see anything you did wrong with that rod! Maybe there was a hairline fracture in the blank or something… crazy. Awesome Jack though - they are such beasts! Never gets old
Maybe you should look at the specs on the side of the rod. You’re throwing a jig head that’s what 2-3 ounces? Plus the shad itself which is atleast an ounce itself?
Can’t say enough good things about the guys at Juno bait and their custom rods. Currently have two and am getting another one, i also live on the other side of the state if that says anything lol
Lawson, your rod snapped because carbon rod blanks are brittle and a tiny little chip can cause a rod to snap like that. Also, every blank has an axis that it bends at, so if your cast is not in line with that axis you will exert extra stress on those spots with small chips. If you lay your rods on a tailgate, wrap them with a protective covering. Fiberglass rods do not have this problem - but you exchange that for less sensitivity.
Oh and I do enjoy these videos. But will you PLEASE put some of these fish on a scale for the camera. because i'm not convinced of the weights being quoted by eyeball. It used to be that any unweighed fish wasn't lagit. i'm just sayn
Wow! Now I understand the question/comments in the Twitch stream.... Another one? Don't make no sense at all. At least ya got a replacement (and made use of that stone). Nice work there Lawdawgie, have a good one! Waitin' on da next one. Be Safe
2 broken rods in 2 days! That calls for a spare rod on every trip my friend! The second one shattered when it broke, which means to me a manufacturing defect.
The way you are whipping that rod is what broke it. Use more of a lever cast instead of that hard whipping motion. Looks like you tried to break that rod!
I think your line to line knot got stuck in a guide on the rod break herd the noise then take the momentum and weight of the top water prolly led to that event.. which tbh is still totally un acceptable 😂I felt your pain on that one being that its a surf rod idk if its technically a casting rod which is why it has bigger guides easier to get tangles on them casting that is prolly why it snapped being a lot longer then our regular 7' -7-6 8' inshore stuff
@@aaronhiggs 😂 not better never better than g loomis with there hand crafted Blanks and rod assembly and the parabolic bend is way better than an ugly stick
@@Off-The-Dome-Kobe of course. I’m talking about these crappy savage gear rods that are snapping. I have a custom bull bay rod that I love, very similar to a gloomis. Tightlines!
Love the content brother but I wanted to ask if you tie your leader together with swivel or a specific knot? I fish the Texas Coast and am asking for my jetty set up.
That Magic Spoon is the real deal. Fruity and Frosted are the two best. I have it with OAT-LY Oat milk and it’s a 0 guilt snack. My only beef is how expensive it is but I’ll use your code now!
Do yourself a favor, buy Penn both rod and reel, the standard. In addition fire off a memo to the rod co. they should do something about that being that you got @ least one of them on a vid. Just sayin......
Bummer about the rods. It could have been how you are transporting the rods in your truck. I broke a rod because I put it through the rear sliding window and drove down a gravel road. It broke on the first cast right where it was resting on the window frame.
Go get you some slappin’ cereal at magicspoon.com/LAWSON and save $5 off your order!
The break of the second rod was just the beginning of a great day of surf fishing Lawson!!! Got to love it man🤙🏽💯
Not at 10 bucks per box I'm not.
That rod looks like some jackhole pinched it with a pliers. Crushed from the side.
I wish this video was longer beautiful fish man hope to see more soon

i would definitely do that thanks for the tip
yeah, thanks for the Q tip! haha! that was bad
Jacks are the shit! They fight like warriors and so fun to catch. Pound for pound prob the hardest fighting saltwater fish out there!😎
been freshwater fishing my whole life and about to take the plunge into saltwater next year . thanks for the inspiration. cant wait!
Time to go rod shopping! LOL. Always carry a back up in the truck man.
I heard that Trailer Park Boys reference! 'Two Birds Stoned at Once' HA
Keep it up my dawg, I hope to catch a big tarpon this year.
The rod was afraid of big fish and broke before suffer, great video, big hugs from Brazil!!
i did that 3 times before i figured out the lure weight was 3/4 oz to heavy for the action of the rod. I was trying to cast plugs with a 10 surf rod

You make it look so easy; I'm a freshwater fisherman and saltwater leaves me dumbfounded. And I'm on the treasure coast 🤣

I am also interested in them myself!
OMG NOT ANOTHER ROD

I have never seen you snap a rod in the last 3 years crazy.biggest Florida fan David Kilroy
I thought magic spoon was going to be a new metal lure!
what a start in the beginning😭
Defective blank or they didn't find the spine correctly on the blank would be my guess. Only rods I've ever broken were because of defective blanks.
That’s some expensive breakfast cereal lol

Dude the same thing happened to me a couple months ago in Jupiter, tsunami carbon shield 2
Another one?! Noooo… wait, what?! I honestly was waiting for some new spoon lure and it’s cereal lol nice plot twist!
Beautiful fish
I’m a proud law dog
You swing that shit like If there’s no tomorrow
Get ugly sticks they never break 💪🏽
These rod snaps are baffling me now, haha. Hope your luck turns around. Watch the new Theo Von special, that'll cheer ya up.

I wish you spoke more of the details of broken rod? Make, Age, weight class, where you got it etc..
Hate it when a rod breaks and you have to buy another..BUT also love it when a rod breaks and you have to buy a new one Lmao
I think you have the right rod this time buddy 👍👍👍.....
your vids are incredible man, can’t believe how far you’ve come, keep it up!
Where was it manufactured?

Goog ol ugly sticks never break and they’re the cheapest I know those graphite’s aren’t cheep. Waste of money imo

Love the vids. Those are some violent casts and they take a toll on the rods.

Fiberglass rods do not have this problem - but you exchange that for less sensitivity.
Just a thought, but maybe something about your storage setup that's weakening the rods?
Maybe the new heavy reel is why
I love your videos! Stay safe
That ending 👌🏼 nicely done
what swimbait is that?
Ordered some cereal. This better be good!
Highly recommend TFO rods. They are tanks. Love the vids brother, always awesome.
Just make sure when you cast the rod doesn’t snap in the middle
Oh and I do enjoy these videos. But will you PLEASE put some of these fish on a scale for the camera. because i'm not convinced of the weights being quoted by eyeball. It used to be that any unweighed fish wasn't lagit. i'm just sayn
Common lawdog you know Chelsea Told you not to go fishing this morning 😅
Bro you have to start praising the fish gods or something cause. Back to back broken rods ouch !! Great video as always brother tight lines.
Juno Bait is where it’s at
"slobbered on the toppered" ive heard it all
Did someone step on your rods and crack them? Were they both stored together?
Great video and hope you have a "rod fund" !!
About time we see you throw a NLBN
I have broke many rods on year and they say high stinking heavy baits like hard snap over ones head can break your rods
Wow! Now I understand the question/comments in the Twitch stream.... Another one? Don't make no sense at all. At least ya got a replacement (and made use of that stone). Nice work there Lawdawgie, have a good one! Waitin' on da next one. Be Safe
It's that dad strength bro
diawa makes a good 9 foot surf rod
When it rains it pours. Probably just bad luck. Do you have a dog that could be biting on the rods?
2 broken rods in 2 days! That calls for a spare rod on every trip my friend! The second one shattered when it broke, which means to me a manufacturing defect.
GET THE NOMAD OFFSHORE SPIN 8’3” !!!!!
how much was the junobait rod
The way you are whipping that rod is what broke it. Use more of a lever cast instead of that hard whipping motion. Looks like you tried to break that rod!
Something rubbing on them during transport? Are they breaking in the same area?
Great video 💪🏽
My heart broke when I heard that rod snap 😬

Cie cie paman tongkat pancing baru..😁😎🖒
What’s the surf rod you got?
Ever thought of trying the bull bay custom rods made right down the road in Lakeland??? I love my mine. Just wondering Lawson🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
The way you whipping the Walmart rod ain’t workin lol
I literally broke my surf rod the same exact way beach fishing the other day
Looks like g loomis wants to be ur friend
Shoot a ugly stik would work better. Lol.

Still warm out there ?

15 pound mono ? or 50 pound ?
A broken rod and 2 jacks….what a video
can't believe you broke another one!
Get star rods can’t bet
I’d send it back

Off rip knew it was the lure too big
What glasses do you use
Can anyone tell me what bait that is he is using? Been looking for new artificial for surf fishing.
NLBN
No Live Bait Needed
Where are you fishing in this video?
Be more careful with your rod Hercules.
Cool video. Wat kinda rod is that. They use cheap material
What type of line you got on your saltist
WHAT IS UP MAH DAAAWWWGS
Are you on east coast
Do yourself a favor, buy Penn both rod and reel, the standard. In addition fire off a memo to the rod co. they should do something about that being that you got @ least one of them on a vid. Just sayin......

Yeewww
