Rod repair

[majflyboy]

Did this a couple months ago.



Shakespere said if I would send it back they would send me a new rod, but the shipping both ways costs more that the rod. Does anyone repair graphite rods in central MS?

I don't know of anyone in my area. You could take a piece of another rod and make a sleeve and epoxy into place. I have done this in the past and it worked but you compromise the integrity of the rod. Sometimes it makes a rod feel better and sometimes you wate your time cause the rod feels to stiff in the middle and to limber on the end. I have had better luck throwin em away and buying new ones. This gives you an excuse to buy a new one. Just my 3cents.

You're probably right MM. Just strip the eyes and can the rest.

[tritonman]

you got it maj!

Next time get a BnM. That way if it gets broken you can get one locally.

Buy a B&M pole from Grizzly and buy an extra tip section with it.That way if you break it you can keep on truckin'.

[Wannabe...]

Grizzly probably has replacement tops for that pole. Call em.

Other than that, strip the eyes, chunk the tip and save the bottom section.
