faker Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Hi guys, I was practising casting in local park when front of rod got sent flying and rod ended up with what I believe superficial scratches. Is there a way to polish it up? Edited March 21 by faker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noelm Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) If you see a line inside, best guess it’s not a scratch. Can you take a picture from a bit further back? It’s near impossible to make out what’s what. Edited March 21 by noelm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hornet Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 It’s hard to tell from the photos you’ve provided. Take a good look at it under a magnifying glass and good light to determine whether it’s a crack or scratch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

campr Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Is the area cracked over a threadbinding? I think it's possiblethat it is just the epoxy coating that's cracked. If so it may just need a bit of a sand back and recoat with a 2 part epoxy rod finish. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They say it's a very minor superficial crack on surface considering the cracks did not increase when pushed under heavy load. I have bought some epoxy to reinforce it. But thanks for advice all Edited March 21 by faker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
