I recently purchased an 8' 3pc 5wt Diamondglass. When I flex the tip section, it tends to roll to the side so that the guides are sideways. The whole rod seems to twist when put together and flexed. If this were a bamboo rod, I would say that it had been splined improperly or not at all before the guides were applied. Is this something that these rods do or did a get a $295 lemon? I am also a little disappointed in the amount of fill in the cigar shaped handle. I didn't necessarily expect flour grade cork but this is like I would expect on a $75 graphite import.
