Fixing a Snapped fishing rod

I managed to break my son's fishing rod and not on a fish but trying to ram it into a bag which already had a folding chair in. I could of just left it a bit short and glued a new tip top guide on but then the rod would look at bit odd. So I used a piece of broken rod tip to fit inside and bring the two parts back together, This was glued into place with some epoxy rod building adhesive similar to 40min epoxy, To wrap over the joint I used some strips from a piece of carbon fibre cloth, these individual strips can be bought and are sold as carbon fibre tow. I used rod finishing epoxy to coat the wraps and some shrink rubber tube to compress it while it cured overnight. To finish I sanded and then used spray can clear coat, but an thin layer of epoxy would do the same. This method I have used a number of times to fix broken rods, generally it can kill a little bit of tip action but to honest after a few casts i generally forget the rod has ever been repaired

Literally tried to do thos today but the wire i used was too flimsy. So I just added a rod tip. But I'm happy to see I almost did it similarly!

You should make some videos of you just fishing with the tackle you've made, i think that would be a great idea

J’ adore tes vidéos tu es le meilleur 🇫🇷👍

I swear you must have some Indonesian blood. I actually thought this was "rakitan +62" before I saw who made the video. They are very creative people who can do a lot with a little.

Unwaxed dental floss is great for wrapping. I use epoxy.

I found this gets much harder to do the bigger the Rod. The repair on my 6 foot ultralight went perfectly. But my 7’7” heavy was a challenge.

Cool.

But your robbing self of the joy of going to your favorite tackle shop and buying a new one.

Then it breaks further down from where you strengthen it. I used nylon and superglue to wrap

What is the that thread like thing u used to wrap on the blank

[kimbrigreen]

@soulfishertoo be hatin’ on you! Ouch!

[OutdoorKings]

What kind of wrapping did you use? Covered more surface area for the rod.

[catdadreloaded]

Where did you get that pack of fiber from that you used to wrap the outside of the rod with?

[roccoever]

Nice job, but how was the Rod action after you rapair it.
I know flyfihing rods Will never be The same

[travelbyaverythere]

Hi mate, can you tell me what kind of steel you use inside the rod tip? because i try to find in online shop something similar, but i cant🤦‍♂️

[Owen-cgsb]

What did you use on the outside of the rod, the black and red string like stuff

[mudassirmm]

What is that rod material you use for joint iron rod or fiber rod?

[whodoyouthinkiam]

Interesting that the heat shrink doesn't stick to the epoxy, do u know why that is?
