Evening y'all,

Can anyone here give some ideas on what to do with broken rods?

I have 2 Castaway mediums 7' that had the top 3" to 4" broken off.
It was my fault on both occasions:

The first one, I rolled up the rear window while it was sticking out.
The second one, I grabbed the tip while bringing in a big bowfin.


I know I can fix them by removing the 2nd guide and replacing it with a new tip guide.
But they won't have the same feel.

lol, okay.


I'm thinking of just fixing them and donating them away.

(Boy Scouts, Inner City Youth, or a Vet Program).

When I was a kid, I got peacock feathers from the zoo and would always sit in our body when it sat in the driveway and pretended I was fishing. I bet OP can do the same with his broken rod.

Bust it off at 4-5 feet, and use it to pull weeds off your trailer when you come off the ramp.

glue a .50 cent eye on it, and trade it in at BPS
