I Rod Flipping Stick Question
Just purchased and received an I Rod (Bubs Punch Rod) IRG7114P-H from Tackle Warehouse. 2nd one I've purchased from them... This time it came in two individually wrapped pieces. The main section with the guides with a 4 inch unfinished area of the blank exposed opposite the tip. The other piece is the handle starting at the screwable reel seat down to the butt. It's obvious the guide end is supposed to be pushed into the reel seat end, but I don't understand why they would have shipped it this way. You always hear rod companies boast that the blank runs tip to butt for strength and sensitivity. Obviously it is not the case in this instance... Am I supposed to get some kind of epoxy and finish the job myself? Has anyone else out there experienced this? Just seemed odd. I guess its late enough in the season to send it back and request another "Whole" rod... lol Love to hear the thoughts! Thanks!

The shipping companies went way up on what they charge to ship rod tubes over 8'. So to make it affordable they ship this way.
I found this out when I tried to ship one from GA to TX, $148.00, needless to say I didn't ship it
