JET01 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Ive got a 762 lox 1-3kg. It's my favourite whiting rod. I left it I my car on a hot day rigged up with a slight bend in the tip. I've noticed that this bend is now permanent. It affects the feeling on the line when fishing and I'm wondering if there's a way to get it straight again. Should I just leave it in the car on the next hot day with no pressure on the tip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abecedarian Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 About $70 will get you a new tip section from the factory. Probably the best option. Something else you could do is stick it in the oven on very low heat (60-80 degrees if possible) for an hour or so and see if that sets it straight. But no guarantees that the strength would be there afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4myson Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Use a heat gun on just the tip & gentle apply pressure in the opposite direction & let it cool down slowly while still applying slight pressure ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
