Hi all
I had a li'l accident a while ago, tripped and fell on me rod holdall!!
I heard the loud crack and knew instinctively that it was going to be my favourite float rod
My Daiwa Whisker Kevlar that I bought twenty odd years ago (but was still like new!) has broken cleanly four inches beyond the first ring mg:
In the past i've repaired loads of rods by aralditing spigots inside then whipping over for the ultimate strength but this rod has such a gradual taper that all the old rods/poles etc that i've chopped lumps out of have to steep a taper..
Anyone know where I could match and buy a spigot (Does anyone even sell them??) or would I have to turn a very thin aluminium tube on my lathe to do the job??
BTW, I've kept looking on fleabay in case anyone was listing one but fruitless to date
Any help would be greatly appreciated (jeez I love this rod )
Cheers, John
