Rod repair

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 repair

Post by timinmo » Thu Dec 05, 2019 4:27 pm

So I build a few rods every year but I repair a "lot" of rods every year. My present problem is that I took in a Major Craft UL to repair a guide. Before I start, my question is, if anyone has repaired a solid tip rod where the guide that needs to be replace is located at the junction of the two materials? I would not worry if it was on the tubular section but it is right where the two come together and I am somewhat worried that somehow the guide wrap is helping to hold the two materials together. So if anyone has any experience with such a repair I would welcome any wisdom and experience you can share.
Thanks Tim
