Hi lads
Recently fished the wye last week with my mate,he was fishing with a brand new korum barbel rod 2lb tc,after having a smallish barbel on the first cast he was retrieving in his second cast to rebait and the tip snapped 2 eyes down anyone had this problem? He took it back and got a refund told him to stay away from them lol
 
Never heard of Korum stuff snapping. They’re generally very robust. Maybe it took a knock somewhere?
 
All rods can snap, even new ones, and for a whole host of reasons. It's how the dealer and manufacturer sort out the problem that matters.

My step dad has a pair of the 2lb Korums and for the money they are brilliant he’s had 3 doubles on them this season already. I think your mate must of just got a bag one. Can happen with any rod of any price range. It’s the support after that really matters
