Pink Nighty
Life of the Party
I had an issue last time out on the river. When I put together my rod the middle ferrule were a bit tight but I pushed on and fished. When I went to break down, it was STUCK like all hell. I was able to twist it about a quarter turn and gain a little less than half an inch, but in the process I loosened an eye.
I got it home and after 5 or 6 times through the frozen paper towel procedure it finally came apart, but not before I snapped a different guide off and further loosened the original failure. It was a bit of a Lenny moment, I wanted to be gentle but was simply incapable, and I need to learn how to fix my bunny when this happens again.
I've never wrapped a rod. I have thread and bobbins, uv resin, loon head cement, superglue, 3m tape and electrical tape currently at my disposal. I dont care much about how it looks, but care deeply about how it performs and it's no longer under warranty (because echo already replaced it on the cheap when they didnt have to.)
Can someone lend me a procedure using the materials I have? Am I missing a crucial tool or material? My biggest concern is what to finish it with, so that it isnt tacky and grabbing at the line.
I'll attach some pics, and I promise to try and be nicer to my shit in the future!
