RE: Broke my rod :(
I can appreciate the pain........... an old rod is like an old friend.
Sounds like you have an older solid fibreglass rod with metal ferrules and simple chrome plated wire guides. A lot of us grew up with these rods many moons ago............ Tackle shops that have been around a long time may have the parts and you might be able to do the fix yourself. Having a pro fix it will cost you more than the rod is truly worth and not advised. The parts are available on line....... the following is just an example and I have no idea if this seller is or is not reputable: http://www.mudhole.com/Ferrules/Brass-Fe...ome-Plated Keep an eye out at garage sales and at Value Village type stores.......... I have seen such there occasionally. But in a way - this may be the event that leads you to learning new skills and an appreciation for more current rod designs of increased length that will no doubt aid in your future success and enjoyment. Cheers, OldTimer <>< I once gave up fishing. It was the most terrifying weekend of my life. ><> See you on the river. |
