For the record, this question is only going to come into play for those of you who buy models with flex rods. If you do happen to do this, there may be a chance that one or several of the rods become bent and angled. The quick fix to this problem is to turn the block upside down, take out the rod block and begin to snip out any of the rods that are bent. Remember, though there are individual rods, they should be all connected together.
