Under Pressure We normally bring rods back to our lab for a lab test. Since this is a very expensive rod belonging to a friend, we decided to bring the lab to him and allow him to participate in the test. The Destroyer claims to be able to manage up to 14lb of pressure with 6lb at the tip. We tested this claim with a pressure test and this lightweight rod managed 14lb of pressure before the line snapped. It could still go on but since it passed the 14lb mark, we decided to let it be. 53
