they used to have a 1.25lb test curve i seem to recall.
a quick tip !
if you still have the pieces put them together and tape them up,then put the rod
together see if you can find a long piece
of paper (old wall paper)lay your rod on the paper and draw around it from the ring
below the ferrell/joint to the tip taking
special care to mark position of rod rings
so when you've replaced the tip section you can put new rings in the same places so keeping the spaceings right for the action of the rod,also use some tipex to
mark the topside of the joint,all blanks
have a imaginary spine to which the eyes are fixed on the opersite edge so the rod bends best that way in a smoove arch.
next you have to find the splice point on the rod,then cut through it just above the
splice about 2in,if the quiver was glued in
in the first place you could cut through the rod 1-2" below the splice so that the
section has a open end or you could boil a
pan of water and imerse the end in the boiling water whilst turning to melt the glue used and applying some preasure as soon as you feel it give remove it and knock the spigot bit down inside the blank.
take your new quiver tip and then drop it down the inside of your rods blank and pull hand tight only and mark were it meets the cut of end of rod (you should of by now cut and chamford the end)then push the quivertip back down and out find the mark and cut off 2-3 inches below this then re-incert your new quiver section (dont glue it!!)and pull it tight into position then whip over the join this will be strong enougth to hold it.and if you should ever snap it again then its a easy job to replace.glue on a tip ring and then superglue on the intermeidates lining them up with the rods old rings and whip them on then paint it white (hi-gloss)2-3 coats and a final lacquar coat.it should have a test curve of about 2-3oz.
if you have trouble finding a (donkeytop)
replacement quiver section ,go out and buy
one of those paphetic fishing kits that sell for around ?6 as these are fibreglass and the top section should be ok to use (throw the rest in the bin)strip of the eyes and give it a light sanding to take the shine of the surface they work fine they can usually be found in fishing tackle shops and pound shops or woolworths.
(print this off for reference)if you want the JW video just e-mail me an address and
i'll send it (it shows Jw fixing one of these rods)you can watch it whilst your doing it as reference.
i hope this helps
