Never heard of Korum stuff snapping. They’re generally very robust. Maybe it took a knock somewhere?

Maybe in transit the snap was a clean cut aswell

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.

I’ve got the same rod and it feels bomb proof to me. Must have been a weakness in the there from some un noticed damage or a manufacturing fault.

Angling direct gave him full refund in all fairness

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
