I have a favorite freshwater bass rod that I was a bit careless with a pulled the foot right out of the epoxy/wrap.
It slid right out and left a clean hole with out cracking the finish.
Can I just glue it right back in the hole? Or do I need to get it repaired correctly?
It's a cheap rod compared to most but it has lots of catching experience and mojo so I don't want to toss it.
Thanks for any thoughts.
The builder apparently did not do a locking wrap. Get some sewing thread from your wife and tie it securely where the foot bends with a couple wraps. Super glue it in the hole. With a little sewing thread left sticking out of the hole just make a few tight wraps and seal it with clear nail polish. Easy weekend warrior way to save an old rod.
In my shop with tools I would do it different but you should be fine with quick and simple.
Nice quick fix Dwight ;)
