I have seen 20 lbers landed with a 1 weight. All in the BUTT.
Oh it could happen, but I tend to fight fish more with the butt.
I have seen rods snap simply because the handler placed the free hand on the rod its self to pull up (not the cork but on the rod)
Rod snapped right in front of his hand. (Andy Mills)
The are made to fight from the cork. That is why Spey add to the cork.
I did get a nice nick in my T3 on our trip from transporting on the trailer.
Now that could snap at any time.
