have you got enough relief in the neck ( slightly concave instead of dead straight or convex) look down the edge of the fingerboard from the headstock to the bridge to observe this . if thats ok the frets need dressing ..this is a job for a git technician ..but you can tackle it yourself with the proper tools and care
have a look on youtube for some info on it

Yer polys right although i would dress the frets before tacker-ling the truss rod....
