Picked up this combo a few weeks ago and this seems to be a great rod/reel combo so far. I have fished it a few times and practiced my casting on the lawn with it many times. However, for some reason the line really drags through the guides sometimes. It almost feels as if the coating of the fly line is coming off but I can find no damage to the line and can't see anything wrong with any of the guides. I have noticed this since it was new and have tried pulling the line back and forth on each guide but can't seem to duplicate it. Wondering if anyone else has this rod and has experienced this. Doesn't happen all the time but seemed to happen much more yesterday. I am gonna try a different line on it next time out to see what happens.
