When production rods are not enough, it's time to go custom. Come share your experiences building and/or ordering a custom rod and tell us if you'll ever go back to off the shelf.

rod tip question

Post by sadler81 » Sun Mar 18, 2012 10:22 am

when replacing a tip top on my rods what should I use to fill the tiny gap between the new tip and the old thread wrap to make it smooth and look like it hasnt been replaced? also ive been using the adhesive st. croix sends with there replacement tips its a white sandy type of adhesive. should I use this or is there something better?

Personally, I put all my tops on with 5-minute epoxy.
