Rod repair

I closed the car door on the top half of a rod. The bottom half is fine. Any advice on getting a replacement top?

hi , if your rod cost big dollars you can claim off your house insurance no prob , ps sorry to here about your rod :(

Is there nowhere I can buy the top half? - either new or off someone who has an old rod? Do people just throw the bottom away?

hi mate say what type/make/modal and size of the rod, you never know someone in here might have a top piece to fit you's, even i have a cupboard with a lot of bits of rods!

contact the maker and maybe they have a replacement tip, but it happened to me once and the bottom half ended up in the garden as a plant support, couldnt get a replacement tip as it was an old rod

try the lads in viking tackle bray. they can be a great help. had my dads rod rebuilt came back like new .here is the phone no. 012869215 ask for mick or gerry. hope it :lol: helps/

Alright Jemo!
Have been speaking to Tom, he is gonna take a look at it for me, thanks for all the replies!!

Keith, see you at the comp Sunday . . .!!

The rod I smashed was an Ugly stick spin (sapphire), 9ft casting 25-65g. It is not going to break the bank to replace it but if anyone has a top-half that can be "recycled" I could make a donation to a charity of their choice.
