Whilst out fishing yesterday the top section came off when casting causing the third section to split at the top, have any other members had this experience. I am absolutely gutted the rod is a joy to use.

I have 2 bloke rods and love them! - the 9 foot 8 weight and the 10foot 7 weight. i've never had a problem with them, but do get this happening from time to time with other rods. Have a word with Mick (Bloke on this forum) and see what he can do, otherwise david Norwich may be able to help. he built a new tip section for my Loomis and i'm so delighted with it i darent use the rod!!

Good luck.

I have 3 Bloke rods and any time have had a problem have got in touch with Mick and he has sorted it. Send him a pm.

+1 Mick will sort you out, his customer service is right up there with the best. Just PM him and explain the problem, you might wait a couple of days for an answer if he's off in the Far East but he will sort it.
