Broken rod, broken heart

Broke my 9 ft two piece rod on a recent trip. Break is an inch from the
ferrule joint. (don't ask). Anyone know if this can be repaired? or
know of a good rod repair place? (it's a carbon rod).

cheers,

Paul

Thanks. It's an old Normark. Break is in the middle, an inch from the
ferrule joint which separates the two rod pieces. I am looking for a
rod repairer, rather than sending to a manufacturer. br

Try the manufacturers. Sage, Orvis etc. are very good. Bob Church were also
very good when I broke a top a few years back. Much depends on the age of

I had a Normark - lovely rod although the "ferrules" used to work
loose during consistant long casting I didnt pay an awful lot for
it and if a repair was possible I would expect it to be uneconomic
give Steve Parton a buzz if he doesnt actually still do repairs I'll
bet he knows a man who does

My best rod is made from the top section of a broken 12 foot graphite rod.

Purchase a handle "kit" to make yourself a lightweight rod.

Buy according to the diameter of your rod section, and use a good epoxy to
fasten the handle. You may need to remove the bottom guide, or replace with
a larger guide.

I use everything from 4# mono (for bait) to 20+# superline. (the whippy rod
makes up for the no-stretch line)

Short rods are great for boat fishing or walking brushy banks.
