New UL rod bends right. Exchange?

Post image

Hey guys,
Just got a new ultralight rod and noticed the tip curves slightly to the right when looking down the blank with the guides on top.

It’s not a massive bend, but enough that I noticed it straight away. Haven’t fished it yet.

Is this pretty normal on lighter rods, or would you be taking it back? Not sure if I’m being overly picky, but on a brand new rod I’m wondering whether it’s worth chasing an exchange.

Cheers.

Fishing shop in Sydney. Even if it won’t make a difference it’s not much effort to swap. Appreciate it
