The jobsite I am on at the moment had a shed on it with a two rooms in it made and clad with jarrah planks.  The boss gave us the all clear to go in and get them out or else the shed would just be demolished so a couple of weekends ago my father and I went out and removed a large trailerload consisting of 27x ~225mmx~25mmx 4mt boards and more than 30 2x4"'s around 3mts long.  We put around half up into the trusses in our existing shed for storage and apparently that was too much because today while out at work, the bottom timbers in our centre trusses shed have broken dropping the timber, some older fishing rods, two surfboards, prawn nets etc on the ground.

The casualty list that I can see so far is my well used Gladiator Freshwater spin 2-4kg rod has had the top section broken halfway and a 120x120cm glass tabletop.

I use this rod for basically all my small species fishing, squidding, breaming, swan tailor trolling, whiting etc. It was a 7' rod, but I use it from the boat so often I think a 6' would be better and the action was just a little soft it was also a freshwater rod and it was mainly used for saltwater.  Im not looking to break the bank, but I am finding these days I prefer buying better gear and looking after it. The reel it will be used with is a daiwa exceller 2500 running 8 pound braid but I might be able to look at a new reel for christmas.

Suggestions?
