    Default Crooked rod guides?


    Just purchased a 7' 6" med. light action rod from cabela's. Nice action for flippin' and jiggin'. The one thing I noticed is that the top 3 rod guides are a lil' crooked... Will this ruin the perfomance of the rod? I'm pretty particular when purchasing rods... but this rod was on sale for 40$... I know confidence in equipment is a major thing when fishing... any lack of confidence can ruin the experience... Should i worry? They are inline.. but they are off just a hair at the tip... Comments? Thanks Boys!

    That would bug me. I would take it back. As to the perfromance, I doubt it would have any affect on it at all.
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.

    roll with it and make sure it is not a two piece rod that needs to be twisted just a bit.

    Well.. after everyones opinion... I made the trip back to cabela's and returned the rod! Told them I was displeased with the purchase and got an even swap out for a new one! They even gave me a 25% off coupon for my next purchase.. That was spent in 20 mins! Hahaha!
