Troubleshooting
Sections are difficult to separate after use
Do not force the sections. Clean the joints with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dirt and try gently twisting while pulling.
Rod sections slipping during a cast
Ensure the sections are clean of debris and push them together with slightly more pressure to seat them firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rod, pull out each section firmly, ensuring they are seated snugly to prevent slippage during casting. Always align the eyes carefully to ensure a straight path for the line. The 18mm reel seat is compatible with a wide range of industry-standard carp reels.
