Scratch in new sage xp fly rod

I accidently put a scratch in my blank while wrapping the guides. It is located 38inches from the tip. I would guess it be about .002 " deep and travels around the diameter for about a 1/4 of a turn in an area at 90 degrees to the spline. Should I leave it be or try to repair? What type of repair can be done?

Most likely you scratched the surface finish only. Hopefully.

You can live with it, or try to cover it with a narrow trim band of thread. You can put a thin coat of Permagloss over the area. If you need to color it, tint it as close as you can get it to your rod blank color.
