Best Way To Fix My Fly Rod?
So I was all geared up in my waders ready to go out and I stupidly closed the end of the rod in the door of my car....yeah, I know. Dumb.
Putting my stupidity aside it WAS a 9wt, 9ft 2 piece. Only about the last 2 1/2 inches or so broke. Will the last 2-3 inches missing make a huge difference? I don't assume it will be the end of the world.
The ends that are on the rod currently are the twisted piece of metal. I will refer to it as a curly q shape for descriptive purposes.
So how can I put that type of end on? Can I use a regular fishing end for a light weight saltwater rod?
And best ways to go about it?
Thanks everyone,
Fishless Friend
Depending on the manufacturer, it may have a warrantee that will cover the damage. Some have an unlimited lifetime warrantee.
Although I know Im going to get some flak for this...I would take it to a fly or tackle shop and they can tell you if it has a warrantee. If it doesnt, they should be able to put a "tip-top" on for you. Some say that the rod is ruined but I have done this before and replaced the tip and I still was able to catch plenty of fish with it. I grew up rather poor and was taught to use everything I had for as long as possible. Money still doesn't grow on trees.
I have a tackle business and when anyone buys a fly rod from me I urge them to buy a rod case to go with it. Your situation is exactly why. Here's a link to my fly rod cases.
p.s. The curly Q things are called Snake Guides, the first guide on your rod is called a Stripping Guide (there may be two of these).
