OK, so I have only owned this rod a little while and have broken it:shock:... Don't panic, it's not that bad!!:-o
The shorter butt section (for casting lures) has a little screw on thing at the end to hold some balance weights in place. Somehow I have managed to bend the screw thread in there and it now doesn't do up tight.
I will obviously pop back to the shop and see what they can order to fix it (i.e. new 2 inches of butt with screw thread or at worst new butt section).
I don't think many people are using rods like this but can anyone tell me how I might have done this (most likely car boot or leaned on it but I don't remember doing either) and more important, how did it happen so easy without me even noticing?? I would expect more from a rod worth £300 as in I would expect to notice bending it like that.
We'll soon be finding out what Illex after sales service is like and i'll let you know...
