nice repair mate.i went fishing with a bloke years ago and he shut the tip of my rod in the boot.i sent it off to a very well known rod company up north and when they sent it back repaired,the top 3 eyes that were snapped off was glued back to the other bit a full 1/4 turn out!!!...i couldn't believe it.haha!...anyway since then,which was about 25 years ago i have learnt to do a lot of it myself or use a mate of mine who's a great rod builder local to me.

I've made three 4-5ft rods out of top sections off old rods.I buy decent sized reel seats and use old bottom or middle sections and bush them out to take the top sections.My boat is only 14ft with a splash well.I have the 30% angled tubular rod holders in the stern.It's a bit restricted for space on the boat.I turn the seats around and fish with the small rods from a sitting position.The boat is pretty stable,but now i'm getting on a bit my sea legs are getting a bit slow to react.The rods are handy for dropping down feathers and easy to handle.I use decent sized reel seats so I can use my bigger sized reels.Great vids John,looking forward to plenty more.

Hope this helps I do rid building. Nice to see your repair. A couple of tricks I use may be useful. I do a broken repair as I would for fitting a reel seat. If the section is thin you can wind a few turns of masking tape to build up the spigot. I use 2 pack epoxy resin to glue it in place. Where the 2 section meet whip about 1 inch either side then coat with high build.

Excellent instruction video I will now be on the lookout for broken/discarded rods.

Hi John, another interesting video, I do a lot of repairs to rods and use a dremel multitool with a diamond dust wheel, it cuts very quickly and can be used to sand the cut as well. (you should wear a face mask as the dust may be nasty) I also keep a supply of old rods for internal splints, but use an epoxy (araldite, slow cure) as I have no faith in the hot melt glue. Stay Safe Mate.

A tremendous beast of a fish hit it so hard broke that section as well. Thankfully it's a 9 foot rod and I lost 4" of section. I didn't have a spare rod with the correct diameter and I had to custom grind a polar wood dowel to size. Got it to a snug feel...and perfection! Worked like a charm! The rod I have is so hard to come by...but it's even stronger than ever thanks to you!

If you don't have a spare rod section to use for a but repair that low down a wooden dowel is just as good. I've never found hot glue very successful in my experience it doesn't stand up to repeatedly getting wet. I always used epoxy, not the quick setting type though. You've then got plenty of time to work with it, at least an hour.
