Posts: 260 Location: Almost Heaven | I repaired a TI that broke unexpectedly. I used a piece of an old fiberglass rod as an insert and epoxied one end in. I used a graphite sleeve (arrow) and slid it down over before I epoxied the other end of the fiberglass insert into the rod. You can use some masking tape to make the sleeve fit snug before you epoxy it. I then epoxied the sleeve over where the break was. I use it as a jerk bait rod. It seems to be strong at that point. I could have threw it away but I'm cheap and I was not paying to send it back. Lol. | ||

Posts: 97 Location: Milwaukee, WI | I sent my broken G Loomis back to them and they sent me anew one. Cost me $50 in shipping, but well worth it. St. Croix has also replaced broken rods for me in the past as well. There's a reason to pay more for new rod, IMO, especially when you are an idiot like me and break rods WAY too often. | ||
