It was a hairline crack, very hard to see. I noticed it after inspecting all my guides after I saw the ruts in the 3rd guide. Maybe it happened in transport or when I put the rod down on the rocks, it was never dropped. barely used. mostly on rocks too. not sand.

The grooves are definitly from the knot. I wish I had a picture to show you guys. The grooves where faint but enough to fray 50# flouro and made a weird rubbing noise when I reeled in.

I tie a 7x7wrap alberto and they always come out nice and small. Its a very small knot. I was shocked it ruined the ceramic.
