Fixing a Snapped fishing rod

I managed to break my son's fishing rod and not on a fish but trying to ram it into a bag which already had a folding chair in. I could of just left it a bit short and glued a new tip top guide on but then the rod would look at bit odd. So I used a piece of broken rod tip to fit inside and bring the two parts back together, This was glued into place with some epoxy rod building adhesive similar to 40min epoxy, To wrap over the joint I used some strips from a piece of carbon fibre cloth, these individual strips can be bought and are sold as carbon fibre tow. I used rod finishing epoxy to coat the wraps and some shrink rubber tube to compress it while it cured overnight. To finish I sanded and then used spray can clear coat, but an thin layer of epoxy would do the same. This method I have used a number of times to fix broken rods, generally it can kill a little bit of tip action but to honest after a few casts i generally forget the rod has ever been repaired

You should make some videos of you just fishing with the tackle you've made, i think that would be a great idea

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

yes it would thanks

Unwaxed dental floss is great for wrapping. I use epoxy.

[@edgeofreason2710]

Cool. But your robbing self of the joy of going to your favorite tackle shop and buying a new one.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

for the day job i work in fishing rod factory, so looking at new fishing rods is not a novel experience, but this was my son's first fishing rod and I managed to break trying to shove it in a bag with fold up chair

[@FreedomFishing]

Literally tried to do thos today but the wire i used was too flimsy. So I just added a rod tip. But I'm happy to see I almost did it similarly!

カーボンフィラメントには巻く前に予めエポキシを染み込ませることと、シュリンクチューブに針で空気抜き穴を開けた方が良いですよ

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

there is no need the tube has a hole at the end and the resin is thinned by the heat, and the shrink tube pushed the excess resin out and most of the air

[@namnguyenphuong1051]

😊

[@Heisei305]

@@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFishermanそれはその通りですが、両端の穴からのみ排出するよりも、側面に多数の穴がある方がより効率的に余分なエポキシを排出可能です。これによりシュリンクチューブはより強く収縮し、カーボンの強靭性を発揮しやすくなります。見た目にはわかりにくいですが、両端の穴だけでは余分なエポキシがカーボン上に残りやすいです。これは特に竿先では余計な重量増加にもつながるので重要なポイントです

Nice job ,but how was the Rod action after you rapair it. I know flyfihing rods Will never be The same

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

after getting over the first few casts i really didn't notice any difference, i did choose a scrap insert that was not far off the flexibility blank, there is company in europe that repairs fly rods using a similar method but they have a bit more of systematic approach to getting the correct flexibilty in the rapair

[@soulfishertoo]

No rod will ever cast the same and it'll break again first big fish.

I don't want to be rude as this repair looks fantastic but wouldn't this cause more problems than good as it's supposed to taper down to allow more flexion how are those repair would disallow for any kind of flexing😕

it is hollow flexible carbon fibre insert and the external wraps are made on the bias to add strength and flexibility , i have been using the this rod since the i fixed it and to honest i had forgotten i had repaired it

Is there actually a strong as it was before when you repair it or does it lose strength?

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

it is hard to know that exactly, but in use i have pulled a mountain bike out of park lake with this rod after the repair. In theory a new rod should be better than a repaired rod, but in practice fishing rods are still made by humans and can have faults in them. This was very cheap fishing rod and i could bought another, but it was my sons first fishing rod.

You just created a hard spot, no flex, where it will break again above or below the repair.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

i used a flexible piece of carbon fibre rod as the insert and wrapped the carbon fibre tow on the bias for strength and flexibility. Oddly the first thing i caught with this rod after the repair was mountain bike in the local lake, and i manger to pull it out and strangely got to ride it home

[@coyotejoe80]

@The Handmade Fisherman ok. I've seen a few guys make similar repairs and they usually fail

[@customcee]

@@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFishermankinda like how we repair bike forks, same method with the CF and it can flex and take abuse like a new one, folks doesn’t get how strong this method is, screw the insert, the insert is almost just a guide for the CF wrap

Tip to avoid this: Buy fishing poles that are worth a damn.

[@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman]

wise words, but it doesn't help when to try to ram a fold up chair into a space occupied by a fishing rod and then close boot door on it

[@haralds4145]

In rods for fine spinning its like the more expensive the rod the more easy they break when handled wrong. Extremly expensive rods have carbon with nearly no epoxy pressed super hard. They more light more fast but break more easy. For example i have a 400 dollar daiwa rod with 100g weight. A similar length rod i have with same casting weight and length for 70 dollars has 160g weight. The cheaper will break less. It survived already a very bad mistake.
