  • Fix it or bin it.

    Recently whilst plugging for Bass i snapped the end section of my 4 piece 11 foot Lureflash spinning rod. 100% my own fault.

    I can send the end broken section away for a replacement at a cost of £15.

    Cost of the rod was over £30-what do you think.

    It is a lovely rod and i would say it is up there with the Greys and Shimanos and even has its own carrying case.

    Looked at some telescopics in Boyes but are very inferior.

    Depends.
    Sometimes the enjoyment of working/fishing with something out weighs the cost of repair/ replacement

        If you like the rod and the rest of it is in good nick I'd be replacing it at that price.

        Failing that stick a solid glass quiver tip in the end and use it for fine work.

          Cheque and broken bits in the post lads.
          Don,t want to pay but its a lovely rod.
          One of these days i might even notch a bass on it.

          Sless £50 squids is some cash for the Hardy.
