I have a steve starling tekota graphite rod. It has been leaning against something for a month and now it looks curved or bentstarting from half way down the blank. How can i straighten it again?

no idea if this will work but why not simply turn the rod around so it is facing the other way and leave it for another month - might end up with a rod shaped like an S tho ;)

Bout the only chance ya may have is to do as snakecatcher sez too :-/, i had the same problemo with an unbuild balnk and took near twelve months to get the slight bend out of it..
Keep an eye on it though cause it may just go the other way too..
Cheers

Find the hottest place in you house and hang it up with tip up and put a bit of weight hanging off the bottom of the rod so as to put tension on it but it will take awhile to do the job for you
Hope that will help you out
