So Friday I went to look at several rods in search of a chatterbait rod. After about an hour I settled on the fashion icon chatterbait rod. 7’1 med hvy mod fast. Got it home rigged it up and caught a 10lz bass first cast. I noticed the line was frayed instantly. Took it back exchanged it. Fished Saturday . First fish was a 4.6 lbs. and what do ya know. Line frayed all to hell. I took some 8 lb test and checked all the guides and the tip guide seems to be the culprit. I think. So I am having a non fashion tip put on. With some research I found a thread on here where someone had the exact same issue with the same rod. Tip was chewing up line. I kept fish with it all day and the line was trashed but still caught about 20 on it anyway. The rod is awesome. Great feel, good backbone and just right for a chatterbait. Very disappointed that 2 rods in a row at 234$ had this issue. Poor quality control. I’m hoping the new tip will be the fix.
