2, check whether the rod has anti-counterfeiting label. High-quality branded carbon fishing rods have anti-counterfeiting labels, on which the code is unique and has specific rules. You can check the authenticity by scratching the coating of the anti-counterfeiting label, calling the phone number on it or visiting the designated website. Note that the digital on the anti-counterfeiting label can only be queried once, and the query again will show the date and time of the first query, so beware of counterfeiting.
