anyone think this can be repaired ?

[lannen55]

its a ron Thompson axe only used a few times , I was looking at the rod and giving it a few swings and the top section flew off and hit the floor damaging it as seen in pics , ive been to 2 shops but they say it cant be repaired n the rod still goes together and casts fine but I would just like it back to new ( gutted )

[lannen55]

doesn't look cracked although there is a bit of a small line inside the rod that my nail catches on if I run my finger around the inside ,, ive tried to put 5 pics on but its saying file is to big or summit , I can email

Did you cast it without line on or something

[endurothumpers]

if its cracked you should see evidence of it on the outside put the two sections together and see if theres any movement where you were catching our nail on the inside.as that might just be where the carbon weave ended.

yes mate I was just checking it out when I first got it and showing a mate, I wasn't even swinging it hard it was just one of them unlucky situations where the top half flew off

will do mate cheers , there doesn't seem to be any cracks on the outside it just seems to have chipped the build up , I have much better pics but they were to big of a file to put on here

well to me it just looks like you've chipped the highbuild can't be 100% certain as i cant see right inside the tip but from what i can see just looks to be highbuild damage.

[lannen55]

Would that be repairable ,To build it back up ?

If it is just the highbuild should be no problem if its bothering you that much if you can get it to me and leave it i'll sort it for you.
