The new Cumara 6'8: MH spinning rod I have, the rod blank if you look at it from the handle up to the last guide on the point; the blank very slightly curves to the left.  Will this be okay to use & what does this mean when the rod was built?  It wasn't spined correctly?  Will it still be as sensitive or will any problems come abouts?

This was the only 6'8" MH the store had & was just a bit disappointed that the blank wasn't string straight for costing $200.

Bring it back to the place you got it from. If they wont exchange it for another one I'd shop somewhere else then I would call shimano and ask what they can do for you. I'm sure shimano will take care of it.

I got the replacement Cumara today from Cabelas. This one is so much better. Yes the shaft from the top portion isn't string straight, there is a very, very slight wobble. BUT I can live w/ this one, this is as close to perfect I can get. The Other Cumara w/ the rattle inside the shaft, that one the shaft was string straight...wish it didn't have that rattle.

I'm sending the slightly bent one back to Cabelas tomorrow, I'm happy w/ the replacement.
