    Has this rod tip frayed your line? I got the same exact crappie rod it keep fraying my line big time! Turns out the tiny guide ring at the orange tip those are the ones that frayed the line. Thats a defect from bass pro! Reels is ok the orange tip sucked I will have replaced those guide! Not worth the money!
