Ok so several months ago I bought my first fly rod and reel from Cabelas. I bought a 8'6" 5 wt. three forks prestige plus combo. My last few trips to valley creek I began noticing that the reel was loose and I attempted to tighten it. I then realized that the part on the butt of the rod where the uplocking rings are was lose. I took off the reel and thought that maybe that part screwed on too. I found out that it was just glue which did not hold. So now I have a busted rod and I, for obvious reasons do not want to have the rod replaced with another like it. The only problem is that I can not return just the rod, but instead the reel, line, and backing as well because it all came together. So now I have to return everything and buy something else. Since I did fine with that setup and the reel worked fine, I am going to buy the same reel again because it was cheap and it worked. In addition, I will be upgrading to a TFO Lefty Kreh rod. Does this sound good?
