Anyone with experience with bent rod?
So caught a big bass yesterday that snapped my rod. I go to academy to get a replacement they give me one all is good. I start to fish this morning and I can feel my line rubbing so bad. No nicks in the eyelits. Upon further inspection it looks like it might be bent with the last foot or so of the rod looking like it goes away from the rod like a convex type angle. Could just be imagining it but my 20 braid broke twice and not even on retrieve. For reference rod is a 7" hack attack speed stick. Medium/heavy fast action. The tip also looks a little wonky but I'm not sure. Any help would be great. Since I just exchanged for it yesterday I'm not sure if they'll let me get another one.
Tldr: Line rubbing and cutting up my braid. Plz advise.
