That's all on you bud. Don't blame the Daiwa rod.

That rod don't suck. I have all the sizes 8',9',10',11',&12'...never had that problem. The problem is you boosted that ray out of the water by high sticking which is a big no no. That's what sucked...not the rod!

Sometimes the fishing equipment sucks and sometimes the anglers sucks! Use a fishing rod in almost 90 degrees position is a big DON'T DO IT in the worldwide fishing community. Is a fact no matter what you have to say!

Even a 1000$ rod can break like this 😅..

You high stick that poor rod

High-sticking, created a dog~leg in the carbon fibre and “Snap”. It broke due to carelessness rather than a failure in the rod’s material and design.

100% your fault, rod was high sticked with dead weight basically, Ik you might’ve had rods before handle that type of pressure however a rod’s durability during misuse doesn’t necessarily always mean it’s a good rod either, I’m sure those are great rods maybe just try to be a little more careful next time, my bad if I sounded blunt at first lol

You really shouldn’t pick a fish up by the rod I know the comments have battered you but I would change the video name to. How to not use your emcast rod if you want it to last lol

😂😂😂😂😂 fisherman fail not the rod that's a really good rod for the money.

This is why I always grab the line to bring in the fish on longer rods like this. The tips will snap real easy if you high stick it.

Imagine sending this video to the rod company as “proof it’s the rods fault” 😂😂😂

Really bruh? Definitely not Diawa's fault. But you live and you learn as they say.

It's called high sticking. When you move the rod 45 degrees above in front of you. The rod is weakest at that point.

Sombody need to learn to fish

Highsticking a weight.....yeh the rods fault

This is why you always use a net. It can happen with any graphite rod, regardless of the quality or price. At least it wasnt a st croix or a g loomis 😂

If you high stick a graphite rod like that it will break,real fisherman understand the equipment their using.

That’s called a high-stick. I only risk it for trophy fish like Jewfish & 2m eels 😂

Sorry about your rod mate. You live and learn. Dont let this deter you from fishing. Get out there and keep learning.

Yeah, that’s called high sticking. They’re not made to bend like that go buy yourself an ugly stick they’re made to be like that.

You made a rookie mistake 🤦🤦🤦

😂🤣 with the stingray up like that???

It’s a graphite rod it’s gonna snap if you high stick it. Maybe stick to ugly sticks instead

Had mine a week did the same thing while retrieving a snag quality of daiwa rods a shit

Dude you can’t blame that on the rod. It specifies the rated weight in ounces for casting but I can assure you holding a rod vertical with a few pounds pulling straight down on it is not good on any rod.

This is extremely funny. Steel rod will broken by this funny way of fishing

And that boys and girls is why we dont high stick rods that arent fiberglass lol

You failed, not the rod!😂😂😂😂😂

Graphite and fibreglass look it up 🤦🏽‍♂️

Operator high-pointed the rod and that’s on him. Not an issue with the rod.

User error 100%

a novice angler...😢

Not good to high stick like that. Lesson learned & now you know.

This guy is not educated on rod breakage and stress fractures 🤦‍♂️

Hence why they offer newbies solid glass rods as loaners on the headboats. Stop High sticking my brotha

He failed not the rod lol

First learn how to fish bro

That everyone is called "High Sticking"...

Wasn’t the rods fault that’s not how you are supposed to fish

The way u held it caused it to snap honestly. In all my years I never held any rod like what u did in the 12 o'clock position. A real noob move

You need a steel crowbar, not a fishing rod, with this type of handling 😂

High stick not the rods fault

high stick wtf

That's why you don't dead weight your rods man it's not a rod fail It's owner operator error that caused a fail

That's not a rod fail, that's a you fail.

Everyone knows it broke because of an operator error. Please look up the term "high sticking, and you'll understand how loading a rod that way will break the blank.

Over lifting, human error

It lasted so much longer than I expected 😂 as everyone else stated..you high sticked a fast tip rod ..whatd you expect?

High stick Henry! Daiwa Australia made a video about this called "Bending graphite rods". See this all the time in the tackle industry. Why true lifetime warranties are becoming a thing of the past!

thee epic fail was yours my friend

Operators fault. Rod should never be lifted more than 45°degrees up (its even better to lift fish paralel with the ground, than verticly). Why do you think people use net.

All you had to do was reel down and then lift the ray up at an angle. That there was broken due to high sticking at an extreme 90 degrees

Watching this I knew exactly was going to happen. You can do that high stick thing with an ugly stik, But you cannot do that with any kind of graphite or composite rod. Every time I go to the pier I see guys get out there with these fancy Fenwicks or St. Croix graphite rods trying to lift fish up over the rail. It always ends with them putting those rods in the trash. Like somebody else has said, what did they expect?

It’s not the rod !!! It is the user’s fault 😂

I mean that rod looks like it’s supposed to be with a spinning reel and is bending the wrong way lmao

Always the same, high sticking like a mfer be like “rod fails”

I have a cringe momment that hurts to my soul.

100% user's fault

User error

It's a fishing rod, not a crane 😆

you brought the line to close to you , bound to happen , take care of your gear

Whooop there iiiis

Worst high stick ive ever seen. No shit the rod broke. They arent designed to bend in that manner.

Lol.. i saw the guides up and was like yup SNAP

"What does high sticking mean?"

Any fisherman knows not to hold their rod that high in the air.. And.. That looks like a spinning rod. But holding it like a bait caster? I could be wrong. I couldn't get a clear view of his reel. It looks like a bait casting reel? Those two rod and reels don't mix. I see a few possible reasons why his rod broke.

it can be the rod quality that plays a part of it but seems more like you broke it... everything was fine until you put pressure at the very top of the rod by trying to hold onto the stingray or pull it closer to you.... If I remember the rod is a fast action rod so in honesty, its not a bendable rod or stretchable rod like others that are moderate or slower action. That was a fisherman mistake. But I dont blame you though , many other fisherman dont know much about fast action rod when compare to the avg moderate that they usually put on all rods. Moderate fast action is bendable at the middle so when you do put up it... it will bend pretty solid I would say. But for the fast action rod its only bendable at the tip so you putting pressure on it... most likely its gonna break cause the rod wont bend with it as much as an moderate one. "Moderate rod are the avg rod, meaning majority of rod has it". But the Daiwa Emcast is fast action. People tend to forget about the fast action tip thats why the rod break.

There is fish but ... the water seem too much!😄

Ur mistake 😂😂

Comments like "learn how to fish first" or "be a real fisherman" WTF...I meant Where's The Fun 😂 in teaching or learning, not everyone is educated in everything, we learn we pass on the knowledge! Now WTF...all I'm saying is Whose The Fisherman 😂 and Where's The Fish 🎣

Yeah out of water u dont stress the rod anymore

That rod is higher than me right now 🚬

Definitely not the rod lol

Wich rod is this?

hay man, we all learn from our mistakes. no big deal, no one got hurt, and a bad day fishing is still a good day all the same .

No rod fail….angler fail!

The spinning reel is upside down, so the rod was bending in the opposite direction it was designed to. I’ve seen a guy snap a rod casting it upside down

He high sticking tf out of it…. And stingrays are pure meat that’s prob a 20-25lb fish

🤦🏼‍♂️

That's a fail on the fisherman's part not the Rod

Its a fishing rod not a derick crane.😂

Rule #1 do not hold the rod vertically when you caught something. I always repeat myself to anyone who fishes with me using my stuff. Didnt have any problems

Obviously never fished before i learnt that lesson when i was 14 snapped a telescopic rod baaannngggg what a noise scared the crap out of me .

when good item use by stupid user ...anything will destroy

You high sticked a rod that’s failure point #1

I don’t think they taught you about high sticking a rod..😂

It's a spinning rod, not a boat rod!

High sticking. Saw that coming from.the start of the clip

High sticking will get ya bro

Highsticked it my nephew highsticked my brothers 360 dollar GLoomis my brothers face was distraught

User error for high sticking the rod

User error 😂

What daiwa rod is this bud?

Totally his mistake

Point loading 🤦‍♂️

Dang that socks bro!!!!

Нельзя так поднимать рыбу .

Make a “L” bend not a freaking “U “ bend, yeah sorry user error

It's your own fault, you know that right? Nobody lift & hold it vertically with fish hanging.

You’re sticking your rod too vertical
