Thanks. I had one rod languishing in the garage for a while. Gave me the incentive to fix it for 2019.

I found it informative and helpful! I now know who to bring my poles to when they break lol! I will use this as a reference soon I'm sure.

Shave the glue stick with a knife and drop the shavings in the guide tube then heat the tube. It gets more glue inside that way without pushing it out when u slide it on

I recently broke four rod tips-- taking out the boat the mosquitoes were swarming, I put my rods in the back seat of the truck but they were sticking out the window just an inch or two, my passenger rolled up the window to keep the bugs out. Whamo- all broken. So, great timing for this video! Thanks!

Bit different video than usual, but since I had to do this repair, I figured I would take the opportunity to show the process. On the surface, it seems a little daunting to do on your own, but it really is incredibly quick and easy to replace a rod tip. Would love to hear feedback on how you felt I did with this.

Thanks for sharing that. Very informative.

Great vid man, nice to see this explained for someone who hasn't done it. Also, is "surgical pliers" a thing? Only see them called forceps lol

My rod blank actually broke off at tip I lost the rod tip I made a clean cut on the rod blank and ordered a new rod tip that is a bit larger than the old one to fit the new tip on the rod, do you know if I may have weakened the tip of the rod by cutting the old tip off?

What area of the state do you fish. Im down by exeter and fish the great bay mainly.

Custom rods use different glue than factory made.. Factory made rods use glues with higher melting point than glues used for rod itself...
