the repair works and it looks OK i guess although there is still a mark at the back, the point is they have taken a short cut by cutting the rod lenth back and its realy noticeable when my left hand grabs the bottom of the rod!! i noticed it when i went to cast it? the butt is too short
again its not my rod, witch frustrates me more, it was lent to me to trail. i will definitely ring them, but from what ive heard i dont think ill get to far with them.
further the rod is less than 12 months old and has a 5yr unconditional warranty.
