Merry Christmas, Do I have to send this rod back?

[Cory20]

Well St. Nick knew exactly what I wanted, unfortunately his elves at the north pole (errr China) might have goofed.

This is the first guide:

and here is the second, for comparison:

One of the nicest Christmas's I can remember, and that's strictly speaking about spending time with my family.  I don't get to see my mom that much and am really glad I got to spend Christmas with her this year.  Hope everyone had a chance to enjoy time with the one's you love today.

Mmm...Dobyns 703c under the tree

Yeah, I'd say to swap it out with a new one.

I wouldn't accept any rod in less than perfect condition.  I've returned rods for less than that.

[Cory20]

Wow Chris that was quick!

I figured as much.  Amazing what hope sheer wanton and desire can make you hold on too.

Thanks guys, Merry Christmas

Send it back.

[Cory20]

On its way tomorrow.

It's Christmas!!

Yes! No doubt about that one the guide has been hit with something, that finish will turn gray on you, and the wrapping threads will fail...

I wouldn't spend any thime thinking about it. Why would you consider keeping any product that was delivered in less than perfect condition? Get yourself a replacement, pronto!
