Hey guys and gals, I started building rods last fall and totally got hooked. Unfortunately the first two ice rods I built broke in the same way. I’m looking for answers so I can improve and not do this again (lots of revisions in my process since I started already, have probably done 15 rods by now for friends and family. I did use a flame briefly for the epoxy on these rods (I use very little heat now) and the guys that were using them are trustworthy, did not abuse these things. These are pretty good blanks from what I can tell, Mudhole branded MHX ultralights). What might have caused this?
