I don’t know if you have had your rod repaired yet. I’ve done some refurbishment on older rods, so I might be able to help. Perhaps send me a photo of the break, then I can tell you if I can fix it.

I have an old wooden fishing rod that has snapped and I am wanting to get it repaired and restored so I can hang it on the wall. Does anyone know someone who can do a good job on this? Preferably the Auckland or northland region but will travel if need be. Thanks. ]]> Fri, 04 Aug 2023 12:37:00 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=137774&PID=1834178&title=rod-repair#1834178 <![CDATA[Rod Building : Rod Wrapping gear updated]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=136027&PID=1817419&title=rod-wrapping-gear-updated#1817419 Author: scuzzymoto

Had a few dealings with Mike at Kilwell until last year I caslled and he was gone. His replacement was no where near as helpful, and refused to sell direct, kep telling me I had to contact my local. Haven't dealt with the others except for the crew at Offshore rods, I get a few calstar blanks off them, they're really good.

Which of the mud hole gadgets have you bought?

quick up date

spent last 8 weeks sorting blanks for surf casting 2  x different models , thought about doing the right and support NZ  and manufactures ,  forgot how antiquated a lot of business are  in NZ . I guess having been in the industry in the past  I will be bias but customer service and the supply of info/ specs/ facts go along way to succuring a good working relation ship with company's and others in the industry - well I give up again,  dont understand any more - ( maybe they are paid to much by the government),they live  in a world of there own ,maybe its me who knows , not just in this industry either..
Time for a wiskey or 2

Sorted thanks to Mudhole, new gear on the way , sorting blanks at the moment will be 13'6-14 foot 2 and 3 piece.
more than likely  import them, some interesting things happening in the surf rod industry with regards to materials and design .Europe is leading the way these days - may have to investigate the blanks below very impressive

I don't fully understand where it's broken, could you take a wider pic?

If it's just the butt, yeah, you can trim those ends flush, then take a section of rod blank and glue it up in there, if it's done carefully you can barely tell the rod has been repaired.]]> Fri, 22 Jan 2021 16:11:25 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=134924&PID=1802409&title=repair-needed#1802409
