Gojuryuben   10 #1 Posted September 1, 2016 Did something pretty stupid last weekend and trapped one of my fishing rods in the car door. It has squashed the end of the handle section where the top section connects to it.  Just wondering if any one knew of any way to fix it. I'ts not the most expensive rod in the world however don't really want to have to fork out for another one.  Cheers  Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

biggsy   10 #5 Posted December 27, 2016 (edited) Hi  I fell on to my rod bag a few years ago in the shed and heard a 'crack', I just knew it wasn't going to be the cheap feeder rod in there, It was my Daiwa 13' Whisker Kevlar float rod, A clean snap of the centre section  I've repaired rods years ago by cutting old rods up to make a spigot then aralditing the parts and whipping over them but for the life of me I can't find anything with the same rate of taper to fit this rod I almost chucked a piece of aluminium up in my lathe to turn a piece!!  Ah well! I bought another off ebay but it has a heavy rubber handle compared to mine  Edit- Just got the rod out, It was the handle part that broke!!    Biggsy Edited December 27, 2016 by biggsy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
