I have had older generation in 2106, 3106 and 4106. Runaway from 4016 it breaks at the feral every time. 2106 is fantastic for winters or shallow fishing/mooching and I can't break them (still have 2). The 3106 was unreal, but I only had one of those and had a user error on the tip section unfortunately very sad about that.
NOW that being said I had faith the new line would be great so I got 3 of the 3106 since that's my favourite. 2 broke in my office and the 3rd was returned. It seems the next generation of the rods live up to the made in CHINA.
Afterwards, I bought a 3106 sage, no issues at all. I have had my other 3106 sage for 10+ years best rod for the money hands down for salmon don't even try to argue against that.
Moral of the story buy a sage and it will take care of you for a long time and it's worth fixing them! (unless you can find an old generation titan 3106
