If the rod is at least 6 months new, I'd take it back to where I purchased it and explain that it was a casting error. Fenwick is a quality rod manufacturer and the dealer will most likely replace it or offer a credit. Fenwick has always done me very well in the past when I've had a mishap with a rod. The other option is as dave said to put a new tip on it. Depending on the blank and sesitivity you had it may change the intended use of you rod from a finess rod to maybe a crankbait, spinnerbait, or flippin stick, or maybe it had enough sensitivity that you can live with the action the rod has left. Try returning it. What have you got to loose.<br><br>Happy Hookin<br>Gamaktsu <*(((>{<br>
