Spineless......

I decided to turn my 8ft graphite rod into a two piece, so I can put it inside my kayak. BTW I don't recommend
useing 8ft graphite rods for kayak fishing in kelp beds easy to snap, if you snag the bottom. This rod has caught 45lb albacore and I like it. The ferrule i'm putting is a locking screw ferrule.

After stripping off, all the old guides .....

And cutting the rod in half....as im checking the rod for the spine by bending and rolling it .all the sudden I hear a snap SOAB....no offense mom.the second half of the rod brakes about 8ins from the tip.....when rapping a rod you want the spine up for spinning rods and the spine down for conventional reels.well after thinking about moving the tip down...i decided I don't like the action so I think to my self how can I fix this I got nothing to loose now...if it brakes I can always move the tip down just cut and glue a new tip on when im fishing glue stick cigar lighter. So I put a stainless steel rod in side 1/16 with plenty of 2part epoxy...and call it done can't wait to fight a fish and see.i did put an extra rap of thread and flexcoat tho on the joint

I suggest keeping your thread......

In a Ziploc and out of light....or you will be overlapping to hide the ugly spots in the thread....

Dude just put a new tip where it broke, or make a gaff out of the butt end. You can't trust it anymore.
