Report:
Not a good session. Had no commitments for the day so decided to spend it fishing 
Picked up some nice rag for the day which was at least a 3hr round trip then set off on the bike 
to my destination. After hours of cycling 
(which i'm used to) and with a heavy bag and rods in tow I was happy to reach the beach at about 5.Set up and the first cast produced a double shot of a flounder and a doggie. Things were looking good and conditions were favourable for the smoothie which was on my wish list.
Soon after I hooked a sea trout on my spinning rod which took about 10 metres out and went crazy, but while fiddling around with the reels drag it got off:x
There wasn't much happening on the main rod after the good start but as I was planning to stay into the night I wasn't really fussed as I expected things to pick up when darkness came.
However, went to cast out a large rag bait then "Crack" and the top third of my Greys Triplex went seaward.
I checked the rod and there are now two cracks on the "female" section of the middle piece 
The only thing I can think of is that I hadn't pushed the parts together properly. Was only fishing with 4oz and wasn't power casting so am now rather annoyed. Had to go home fairly dejected after that and with some good bait wasted.
