Fixing rods

[benno573]

Hi guys,

I have a couple of rods in my collection which are in need of a runner replacement or two. i don't need anything particularly flash for most of them, however, one is a live fibre bait caster which i wouldn't mind spending a few extra $ on. if anyone is interested in helping me out please drop me a PM. i am happy to explain what rods and what runner etc need replacing if it would help out. also, i don't find paying for your work as i am way too lazy to do it myself!

thanks guys

I've got a few tips that have snapped off that I'd love to get re-tipped. Happy to pay in cash, drugs or hookers.

sorry to hijack but i have an old shimano squidgy spin rod that snapped - i stripped most of the guides off it and was going to attempt to put new ones on it but lost interes. im just wondering if its worth the effort in repairing it. it was a 7ft2 rod but now its more like a 6f8 but very very stiff.

i can repar if needed

but it might be a while until i can get onto them, i have 3 builds running at the moment that are taking way to long and way longer than expected since breaking my collar bone.

if your interested PM me

Those squidgy rods snap like dry spaghetti, when i worked in tackle shop in sydney we used to have to repair a new one every day!!

Changing tip guides is easy just heat the tip with a lighter pull off the old tip and stick on a new one with hot melt glue, dont use epoxy you are screwed if the tip guide breaks again

i use 5 min araldite to glue on the tip, if it breaks you just heat it up and it comes off

sweet, I'll get you to do it when your bone's all healed up and you're feeling better. I'm in no rush.
