Fishing Rod End Repair

Instructions

1

Rub the broken tip of the rod with the fine sandpaper. Work the broken section until all of the graphite fibers are even and smooth. This will make the tip much stronger.

2

Use the razor to cut several very thin pieces of glue off the glue stick. Put the pieces of glue in the new tip top. Grasp the tip top with the forceps.

3

Use the lighter to heat the new tip and melt the glue. Place the tip on the rod and position it in line with the rod guides. Allow the tip to cool.

4

Shave more fragments off the glue stick and stuff the shavings in the gaps between the tip and the rod. Use the lighter to heat the rod tip and melt the glue. Wait for several minutes to allow the glue to dry.

5

Use the razor to shave any glue clumps from new connection. The glue should be even with the edge of the rod tip.
