Paul that was a 2 pce 8ft 3-weight Greys the line was a #10. I still have that rod, old style rod made using a lower modulus graphite, probably an intermediate mod., slowish action, by modern standards slow action and low stiffness. It must be 25 years old?
it seems like there was something self-limiting about all that, like you could not get enough speed going to snap the rod.
Thinking about the guide thread, rods breaking under playing stress can have something to do with guide positioning. The Fuji guide/tool matches guide position rod curve. As far as I know that's rare in fly fishing, meaning factory made fly rods.
