I would love some opinions on what could have caused this.



this is a restored 7', 3piece Edwards quad that was sold to a fellow and he emailed me and told me that the rod had broken at the ferrule on an 8" rainbow trout. I told him to return it to me and if it was in the build, I would make it right for him. It certainly isn't broken but what a bend in a ferrule. I have suspicions and have solicited input from some people whose opinion I value very highly. Have any of you seen anything like this before? The only other one I have seen like this was a rod that was stuck together and was bent trying to separate the sections. Would love to hear from some of you other builders on this one!
