i’m very new to fly fishing and I bought this fly rod brand new about two months ago. I thought these were just scratches but over this weekend they’ve turned to cracks. Is this because of something I’m doing wrong or is this a problem with the rod itself, or a combination of both? and I guess are these even something I should worry about?

    Yeah that’s not normal bud. As long as you didn’t do anything to cause those cracks I gonna say that it is a manufacturer defect. Check the warranty. Idk what brand rod you got there but if it’s one of the bigger ones it probably have a warranty.

    The down side is that you’ll like have to send your rod away for 3-4 weeks. If it’s an expensive rod it’s probably worth it. If this is a cheaper rod then you might just fish it until it breaks and then buy a new one. Your call.
