I have used fishing rod tip repair kits before but typically when you purchase them, there is only 3-5 rod tips and you can only hope that the rod tip you need, was included on the kit you purchased.
This is where the OJY & DOIIIY Fishing Rod Tip Repair Kit is worth considering because you get the kit with 20 different rod tips of different sizes.
But you get all you need when trying to repair a rod tip, wrapping thread, adding the glue and then curing the glue. You get all this in the kit along with a hot melt glue stick, uv light, wrapping thread, UV cured adhesive, sand paper.
But for those who are wondering how it works, case in point, I recently broke the tip of an Ultra Light rod (ultra lights rod tips are prone to snapping, especially on weed snags). The break was on top of the second guide and because it’s too thin, I ended up cutting right below the second guide, sanding it, then gluing a rod tip and that was it.
Granted, I was no longer going to have the 8 ft. Ultra Light rod action with six inches of the tip gone but I would have a 7 ft. 2 inch medium heavy rod after losing those six inches and I have been using that rod ever since. Could also be used as a spare rod for friends and family to use, no need to throw away a rod that can still be repaired, it may not have the same action as before but it can still be used.
But for me, the selling point are the 20 rod tips included in this set consists of tips of various sizing. Many kits don’t even offer that many different rod tips, so it makes this one a little special than most and it’s under $12.
The OJY & DOIIIY Fishing Rod Tip Repair Kit is definitely worth checking out!
