Not true, I had a custom built spinning rod break just like a fly rod.
It depends on the blank. Now the EAGLE CLAW fly rod will probably hold it's own against an Ugly Stick.
But you get into the higher priced more sensitive blanks be it Fly or Spin, or Bait and the Graphite composite can shatter.
That is the price for lighter and more sensitive.
Look at your Grandfathers fly rods...they weigh a ton or as much as some spinning...LOL and they won't break.
