rod repair
I glued a rod together as a repair at the end of last season. I was
using it and the guides became misaligned.and I figured the glue didn't
take. I put away and now it seems I can't align the guides. Is there a
way of freeing it up. Thanks |

| Was this a two piece rod that kept coming apart and you tried to glue? If
that's the case, there might be something that can be done to get them
apart, but right off the top of my head, everything that I can think of
might harm the rod and/or finish in the process. About the only thing that I can think of would be to remove the guides from
the top section and re-wrap them on the blank to align them with the guides
on the butt section. |

| I would use a bone saw to cut the rod in two pieces and take it back to
Wal-mart for a new one if it really is "jacked".

| And try a piece of tape to tighten the fit next time?? |

| I would see if there were any "lads" out fishing, then throw rocks in the
opposite direction of where they were looking then quickly switch rods, of
course this is all based on the fact that I didn't eat a cold egg sandwich
and that there were no CO's around, or wild beavers |

| IF you epoxied the ferrules together..... then you can re-heat the epoxy and
it will loosen. I take golf club heads off all of the time. You MIGHT ruin
the rod, but..try using your wife's hair dryer or other "gentle" heat
source. Heat the ferrule ( it does have a ferrule doesn't it?) and, with
gloves on, grab the two pieces and twist. It should come apart. Clean it up
with acetone and light sandpaper and try gluing it again. IF it doesn't have ferrules,,,then I guess I'd re-do the eyes.

| Don't mention it. I'm not at all fond of Usenet bullies who
pile on just because they can. Maybe I lack their peculiar
"sense of humor".

| I do have a further development. I applied heat to the rod joint but
could not separate the two sections without popping something in my
armpit. I carefully put the rod in a vise and applied a measured amount
of torque. There was a clicking (not breaking) sound and the guides
fell into line. It is still not possible to separate the two sections.
Hopefully the glue will reseal. It is a long rod (10.5 feet)and there
is a quite a whip to the cast and I hope the guides don't fall out of
line on casting. |
