Telescopic Rod Broken Tip

[davec84]

g'day guys

got a few telescopic rods i used for squidding but 2 of them are snapped at the tip

i was wondering if i could just buy a solid glass blank and use it as the tip

ive broken the tip part of the rod.

cheers

Hey Davec84, I think you would be best off taking em down to a tackle shop and see if they got a tip guide you can fit to existing tip section. Or just replace the rods you can get some pretty cheap telescopic rods these days.

Hi Dave

What length is/was your telescopic? How far down that first section did it break? If the break isn't too far down from the tip, I'd just put another tip on! They are usually fairly flexible anyway - the strength is usually in the but! Or, just unscrew the bottom of the handle & take the tip out & see if you have a busted rod tip length to replace it with - should do the trick. (I keep all sorts of busted bits for other repairs.) Just slide it up the 2nd last bit & put on a new tip! Should work.

Cheers

Forgot to say to use a solid tip! They are usually solid. Should be able to find an old glass rod to chop down for a couple of bucks at garage sales or junk shops??
