Dear All:

I have a Sage SP 5wt on which the rod butt section seems to be coming away from the reel seat. It has been suggezted to me that I could heat the reel seat with a hair dryer until the glue completely lets go and then re-seat the reel seat and re-glue it. A couple of questions. Is this going to ruin my warranty? Am I really going to melt or dry the glue to the point where I reasonably expect to get the butt section off? What kind of glue, 5 minute epoxy? Finally, is this nuts? Should I just pay the freight and send it to Sage for repair?
