Bream buster tip repair?

[Brewcrafter]

I think they seem kind of hokey and really don't see much of an advantage over an old fashion multi section bamboo or glass type "cane pole".

Tommy, with my cane poles I was always taught that once you threaded through the tip, you spiral wrapped down the pole and at the butt end did a wrap.  The thinking being if you nailed a big one and the rod snapped you were still left holding the butt of the rod with a direct connection to the fish.  Now mind you we are talking about bait fishing here (and sounds like fun) and I think that the traditional Tekara folks have their own conventions, but still this sounds like a stick with a tip and this looks like fun fishing. - john

Lew Childre in Alabama had a line of jointed cane poles (sold under Childre and Sanders).  I think his Hawger Fiberglass Cane Pole (made in Japan) was probably the first bream-buster-type pole.
