no fish and my first rod that i have snapped

[guppie12]

hi all,
went out to sugerloaf for a fish on this lovely day. on the way to my favourite spot we saw a big carp crusin around, would it be a common because it didnt look like one. anyway we got to the spot rigged up and casted out about 10 redfin about 20-30 cm came past couldnt temped them that kept on happening for 2 hours and then we went back to the car... accedently hit the cannopy on the ranger and the top of the rod snapped off, can it be fixed anywhere?
cheers

Try your local tackleshop, they may fix it or know someone who will, depending how bad it is, cheers davo

If it's a 2 piece rod they may be able to order in a new top section in for you as well.. you may be able to buy the metal rod tip eyelet that will slip onto where it snapped off. I have done that before.. they're readily available in most tackle shops. put some araldite on the tip and stick it on.. hopefully you haven't broken too much of the rod off. Mine was only around 1-1/2" - 2'' down.. make sure to take the rod in with you too..

cheers
Adrian

There's a lot of if's, but's maybe's involved.
Like Adrian said--take it to a reputable tacklestore (not BCF type).
We have "Hooked-On" bait & tackle in Hoppers Crossing on Old Geelong Rd (near Repco).
What area are you in ???? Somebody will know a great store near you.

Good Luck

Take the rod to Northside Angler in Campbellfield they should be able help with rod repairs.
Is the rod worth repairing or are you better off just getting a new one??

Check these out on Google as well.. may be of some help if nothing else works. If it's an expensive rod it's worth while getting some thing done, if it's a cheap one then I'd just buy a new one..

Bugger! Dont stress, most of us have been there done that mate. If it's broken down to the next guide, replace that guide with a tip guide, and see how the rods feels. You may be lucky and get away with fixing it for only a cupla bucks. Good luck!

Try Aussie Angler in Greensborough they will look after you. :thumbsup:
