I checked to see if the spline had been positioned wrong, and it's

Well the fact that its a Winston blank - Kenny's preferred brand - and that
it curves left, may be indicative of the problem. 8)

HEY !!!! I resemble that remark ! ;-)

I don't have any Winston rods that weren't built by Winston
so I can't vouch for their blanks. But I've never seen any
graphite rod that was stored properly just inexplicably curve
to the left or the Republican in 12 years. It's a mystery to
me.
