    @Micky Duck so I showed my mate who's been a guide for many years and he reckons my netting technique is the culprit - rod too verticle and close to my body when I lift the trouts head to net. The arc of the rod is too narrow and graphite doesnt like it. It's called point loading the tip. Said he's seen it with clients over the years.
