That's a new one on me. Can't imagine getting any noise from a rod, especially a high end one like that.
I recently returned a defective G. Loomis panfish rod I ordered due to bubbles in the epoxy, a crooked reel seat, and a slight ticking sound when i gave the rod a shake. The new one is free from defects it would seem but there is an even more defined ticking/clicking sound in this one. Is this the epoxy "breaking in"? or should I be concerned? The rod is a Loomis SR6010 IMX and I love the rod but the sound concerns me. It seems like it is something that is common in these rods for me to get two in a row like this, I don't want to send a 2nd rod back if it's something that's common and fades in time.

Mark 1:17 ...I will make you fishers of men
Very unusual
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
First I have ever heard about a rod making a noise
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

I would look at it close with a magnafying glass then....if the epoxy is stiffer than the rod I would think that something has to give.
