aside from snapping , when is a rod being overloaded??
i was looking at a decent rod and we were loading it right up.
the top 4 eye's were pointing dead straight at the fish so all the fighting power was coming from further down the rod.
i guess it had a faster action but is that normal??

That would totally depend on the rod and its action.
I've had a couple that have loaded up nicely way above what they were rated to and a few were well overrated.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
