If it's just the clear coat then there shouldn't be a problem. Rod manufacturers usually place a fibreglass scrim beneath the clear coat, covering the carbon fibre. The scrim helps to protect the carbon fibre underneath. Unless the hook really dug in, it should be fine. Rods can function perfectly well with entire chunks of finish missing.
Useful tips!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for posts! Educational and so well done
How bad are knicks? I had a hook stab through the clear coat on the second sections of my spey.

@@hooked4lifeca I took electrical tape and wrapped that particular section, second section from the handle. It seems that section get the most abuse.
