I have had this rod for a very long time. I recently discovered that there is a nick in the rod just below the rod tip. I don't know when this occurred, but I feel that I should get it repaired before disaster strikes on the stream. So, any suggestion on how to repair this damage. I did check with Sage and they said I would have to get a replacement rod for $295 since I am registered. This is without them seeing the damage. Anyway, I cannot shell out that kind of money. I like everyone else here, have other rods to use in the meantime.
Thanks for any help,
John
