How to Fix a Fishing Rod Tip

Instructions

1

Inspect the broken tip and practice fitting it back into place-- you'll need to achieve the original alignment when you replace the tip.

2

Using a lighter or a match, heat a glue stick until it begins to drip.

3

Place one drop of glue onto the broken end of the rod, making sure you don't get any glue on the fishing line. Fit the rod tip into place.

4

Hold the two pieces in position until the glue hardens. This should take only a few seconds.

5

Check the alignment. If the fishing line moves freely, you're done.
