Anything to worry about?
Noticed this crack in the epoxy of my 8'6 redington today. Something to worry about, or just a scratch (so to speak)?

Eventually the guide will probably come loose, but that could be a long ways down the road. It's up to you whether you want to fix it now or wait until it actually comes free.
Why not send the picture to Redington this winter? If they want to do a repair you can send the rod in now and not lose any fishing time. The pictures came up with no problems this time.
I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
Send it to Redington. Looks like a warranty issue and will only get worse before it gets better. Maybe you'll get it back before spring.
I checked the Redington site, and unfortunately the crosswater series only has a 1-year warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship.
Might browse for a new rod, just incase this one breaks. And if I want a new crosswater, they're on sale for 40$.
It's a simple repair. Some one local should be able to do it for you for a lot less than that. Post on the rodbuilding forum and I would guess that someone near you can helpOriginally Posted by Panfisha
