I hit my table fishing rod into a corner the other day and it took a chunk out of its appearance I don't know if there was any damage to the rod body Can I ask you guys if the rod cracked?

According to conventional experience, hitting a fishing rod into a corner may result in cosmetic damage, but usually does not result in the rod cracking. Fishing rods are usually reinforced and have a high resistance to bending and compression. However, if the rod is subjected to excessive force during a collision, or if there is a defect in the rod itself, it may cause the rod to crack or bend.

So, if you are not sure whether your rod is injured or not, it is recommended that you carry out the following inspections:

1. Check the appearance of the rod: Observe the rod to see if there are any obvious cracks or bends.

2. Check the feel of the rod: try to gently bend the rod and see if it bends easily and returns to its original shape quickly.

3. If you suspect that the rod may have cracked, submerge the rod in water and watch for bubbles coming out of the cracked area.

If you notice any defects or breakage of the rod, stop using it immediately and replace it with a new one promptly to avoid potential safety hazards.
