Snapped the tip section of one of my match rods taking it out of the car. Gutted. I was due a break but it was bad luck.
Zero chance of a replacement section. Only positive point being I had the foresight to have purchased a second identical rod at the time knowing they would stop making them.
I lost 7.2cm off the tip (I measured it due to aforementioned guttedness)..removed the second to last rod ring and glued the tip ring back on and it looks and feels ok but I am a bit obsessive about these things and even if it was half a cm I know I will never be 100% happy using it & it will always play on my mind.
Anyone else as obsessive as me about rods having to be their original & “proper” length ....or can rods ever be improved by hacking a bit off them?
What do you think.
