Troubleshooting

Rod sections are difficult to assemble

Ensure the ferrules are clean and free of grit. A very light application of beeswax or a specialized ferrule wax can help, but avoid over-application. Ensure you are aligning the sections correctly.

Poor casting performance

Check that your reel is correctly spooled and that line is running freely through the guides. Ensure you are using appropriate weights within the 4-6oz range and have a casting technique that suits a more moderate-action rod.

Visible damage to rod blank

Inspect the rod for cracks or chips, especially after a significant impact. Fibreglass is durable but can be damaged. If damage is significant, it may affect performance and safety. Contact customer support.
