nice repair mate.i went fishing with a bloke years ago and he shut the tip of my rod in the boot.i sent it off to a very well known rod company up north and when they sent it back repaired,the top 3 eyes that were snapped off was glued back to the other bit a full 1/4 turn out!!!...i couldn't believe it.haha!...anyway since then,which was about 25 years ago i have learnt to do a lot of it myself or use a mate of mine who's a great rod builder local to me.
gavin mcnamara - My pleasure mate. If the rod is fully splintered it’s often past the point of recovery. But the components are still good to repair others you might break. 😉🎣
I've made three 4-5ft rods out of top sections off old rods.I buy decent sized reel seats and use old bottom or middle sections and bush them out to take the top sections.My boat is only 14ft with a splash well.I have the 30% angled tubular rod holders in the stern.It's a bit restricted for space on the boat.I turn the seats around and fish with the small rods from a sitting position.The boat is pretty stable,but now i'm getting on a bit my sea legs are getting a bit slow to react.The rods are handy for dropping down feathers and easy to handle.I use decent sized reel seats so I can use my bigger sized reels.Great vids John,looking forward to plenty more.
well played mate ... nothing worse then snapping a rod that you like or your used too and then having to get to grips with another ... cheers for sharing
Tempting fate now. Have only the four rods, one a very old Sillstar over 40 years old that I bought in a jumble sale for less than £1.00 . Although I have yet to break a rod, having watched this video I now know where to come back to when the inevitable happens. Excellent instruction video I will now be on the lookout for broken/discarded rods.
Colin Philpott - Thats exactly my thinking Colin. The main channel will be for the catch reports and the foraging. This one is for the more technical how to stuff and new projects or shorter vids that are less than 12 mins. 😉👍🏻
@@thefishlockerworkshop gonna be a busy year :) Happy New Year to you John, Hannah and the little uns. Tighlines, health & happiness for the coming year.
Hope this helps I do rid building. Nice to see your repair. A couple of tricks I use may be useful. I do a broken repair as I would for fitting a reel seat. If the section is thin you can wind a few turns of masking tape to build up the spigot. I use 2 pack epoxy resin to glue it in place. Where the 2 section meet whip about 1 inch either side then coat with high build.
You remind me of my dad who was always fixing or building something. However he only liked to fish if he was catching something. Otherwise he could think of other things he should be doing.
I wish you all the luck in the world! You're doing a great job. People really learn from you. That's important. You probably saw, and learned this since you could walk. And you do it great! Fisher and handyman. Ha! Merry Christmas, and up to a great, new fishing year! And thank you for sharing your knowledge, and great videos. Greetings to you and your family. And all the best in the new year to come. Bye!
periesicsd - Thank you very much for your kind words and wishes. UA-cam is making some weird changes atm but we will continue to make videos as long as we are able. Good health and best wishes to you and your family. 😊👍🏻🎣💙
Great idea mate! I'm going to try this on one of my broken poles. Kind of a spendy trolling rod that I loved. My thought is to use 5 minute epoxy. Gives you longer work time & stronger bond than hot glue. Try that if you unfortunately have to do it again
@@lefty940 - Now then mate, I've got a review up of the rod and reel I use. The noumea Izu and the Abu cardinal 176swi. The rod is great and the reel is awesome value for money but is a budget reel. I have just gotten a new setup that should be brilliant. Its a Nomura Kanji and a Daiwa ballistic. I will review them when I get chance. ;)
@@thefishlockerworkshop cheers mate i'll have a look for it the reel sounds ideal for me i dont do much lure fishing but i am looking to try a bit this year so don't really need high end stuff cheers for the info
I have repaired rod';s in the past but I used epoxy resin as it gives you more time to get the jointed section exactly where you want it and it fills in the joint to the outer edges
- I use epoxy when I'm doing rod eyes etc but for this type of fix I've found that hot glue has a little bit of give in it. ;) Which type of epoxy do you use out of interest?
The south Devon Fishermen - Realy fine quivers before I have simply just shortened them and put a new end eye on. Of course it depends how much you’ve snapped off.
- Yeah, its one of those things. I find epoxy is sometimes a bit brittle and hot glue has a little give in it so for this type of mend I went for the hot glue. For things like eyes I go for epoxy. :)
Wow my man! Thank you so much for this video! I just went through the samething this past weekend when I forgot to set my Liveliner on my reel. A tremendous beast of a fish hit it so hard broke that section as well. Thankfully it's a 9 foot rod and I lost 4" of section. I didn't have a spare rod with the correct diameter and I had to custom grind a polar wood dowel to size. Got it to a snug feel...and perfection! Worked like a charm! The rod I have is so hard to come by...but it's even stronger than ever thanks to you!
Great fix it's how i repair my rods, only difference is I use 2 part epoxy resin and I whip finish the area after, instead of tape it looks much better, but great video mate thanks for sharing
- When I'm doing an eye repair etc I use epoxy and whipping. I have found epoxy can be quite brittle some times so like hot glue for this type of mend as is has a little bit of give in it. ;)
- Haha. Luckily being in the UK I shouldn't have to worry about any hot weather. The reason I used hot clue is because it has a little give in it, whereas resin can be brittle :)
- Glad you liked it mate. Just gives you another way the you can reuse old and broken things to repair stuff. Moral of the story is "Don't throw anything away" :P
@@thefishlockerworkshop haha yea to many people throw stuff away these days if I ever have the same sort if problem with my rod I'll defo be doing the same!!
Happened to me, trod on my middle section of a match rod while fishing the upper parts of the Thames, Wallingford did the same when got home had an old rod used a section with epoxy and worked a treat.
If you don't have a spare rod section to use for a but repair that low down a wooden dowel is just as good. I've never found hot glue very successful in my experience it doesn't stand up to repeatedly getting wet. I always used epoxy, not the quick setting type though. You've then got plenty of time to work with it, at least an hour.
I should have also said, I never throw anything out, and have managed to repair all sorts from bits & bobs I've hoarded in the bottom of cupboards! My Mrs hates me for it though! John, where the videos you are putting up on the Workshop channel have previously appeared on the main channel (like your excellent boat launching & recovery) could you put something in the description that says as much? That way, us long term subscribers could distinguish between what is new, and what we may have already watched. Just a thought! ;-)
This is my thing (aerospace composites engineer) would recommend getting some west systems Epoxy 105 is the best some glass balls. If you want to fork out some extra cash loctite 9394 or 9323 both top quality mix a tiny amount alot less than you need
- If I was whipping on eyes I would have gone for some epoxy but hot glue has a little but of give in it whereas the epoxy can sometimes be a little brittle. I have done a bit of it myself in the past on the Harrier fighter jets ;)
@@thefishlockerworkshop well sounds like you don't need any help. The loctite 9394 is aluminium filled adhesive and does have a little give compared to a neat resin. Still for things that are easy to get hold of it sure is a brilliant fix. Hope you have a great new year my friend! I am going through all my new gear for some sea fishing soon. Hopefully I can catch up with when I make way down to st Ives, would be great to have a fishing session with someone who I admire as a great part of the sport.
JAMES GRIGALIS - It’s always good to hear other folks opinions and how they do stuff. Give me a shout when you head down. If I’m free we’ll see if we can’t get you on some fish. 😉🎣
stan wilson - I have found that the epoxy can create a dead band and even crack whereas hot glue if you can get it all the way round it gives a fraction but doesn’t separate.
Very nice job John. (Going forward for similar - and other - repairs, can I council you give 'Gorilla' products (and their glue in particular) a try? I swear by them (Not involved with the Company btw ;-) ))
Same here …well not broken but I can hear it cracking on every cast … 😩 my favorite rod too…… it was lodged in between a rock , when I picked it up . I heard it crack….

Bit of black shrink tubing would set it off nicely completed the look and no one would ever know.

Good fix John 👍🏻
- Thanks mate. It might not be the "proper way" but its works and doesn't cost anything. :)
The Fish Locker Workshop if it works and you get more use out of it that’s perfect for me 😄
Stronger that it was before - good upgrade !
Well that’s really helpful thank you for the advice I broke the tip of an old quiver tip course rod I don’t think I can fix it

That what I did
valuable tip to know cheers John
martin gibson - My pleasure mate. 👍🏻🎣
Very good repair John! I think, like Mike Dixon said, I'd have been more tempted to use Epoxy, but each to their own!! ;-)

If you put your hacksaw blade the other way round,it is more controllable,pulling to cut is a lot easier than pushing to cut.

What is you don’t have a old bit of rod is there another thing to use
- You can use wooden dowel or even plastic but an old fishing rod is the best I have found for it. :)
Thanks
It seems like a lot of effort to depend on some hot melt glue as opposed to a good quality epoxy.This is not a criticism o much as an observation.
I have done something similar used a piece of large heat shrink to cover the joint almost looks factory
- If I had had some it would have been perfect for the job.
I do the same thing,but I use tubes of 2 part epoxy resin instead of a glue gun.
stan wilson - I find that hot glue has a little give in it. Epoxy can be a little hard and brittle. For things like replacing eyes I use epoxy. 😉👍🏻
@@thefishlockerworkshop I have found that allowing give or slight slack in anything that should be solid allows the slack or play to get bigger.

Nice one .Greeting from Hpool🤙
Proper job get you out a hole if no other rod
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🎣😁✌️
- It sure would mate, and especially if you are on a tight budget. ;)
You had me till the glue gun, but I guess you know by now that the glue gun won't hold. Should be using a two pack epoxy, it will last for ever.
Very nice job John.
(Going forward for similar - and other - repairs, can I council you give 'Gorilla' products (and their glue in particular) a try? I swear by them (Not involved with the Company btw ;-) ))
- I have some gorilla epoxy and tape. Very good stuff.
Was this your Nomura Izu SW? 😳 They’re like rocking horse 💩 now!
Epoxy 👍🏼
- Epoxy can be a bit brittle and rigid whereas hot glue has a little bend and give. So for this fix I chose hot glue. For eyes etc I use epoxy. ;)
Thank You!!!!!!!
Mr40tt - No problem. I have a couple of other “mends” to do so I’ll see how the videos turn out. 😉👍🏻
cool explained
Redzippi O - My pleasure. 😊👍🏻
Thank you so much
You should try superglue and baking soda
Epoxy resin please glue guns are for paper
Exactly
Uptiding?
Not the one that the Skate Broke . If someone doesn't have a spare rod . I presume they could use a piece of Wood ?? . Quality Finish ..
- You can use a piece of wooden dowel but it won't be as whippy and strong :)
vernier gauges?
- Very near gauges!
Omg I just broke the butt end of my g loom is NRX spinning rod! I am panicking because I didn’t even buy but I know the value of these!

I Would definitely not trust that rod.
