need to buy new rod any suggestions? - sandrastevens - 10-28-2013 [mad]Hello at my last fishing adventure one of the leader rings for the line broke of It was a Shakespeare ugly stick a had used this rod 3 times so imagine my disappointment on it breaking so easily. I fish mostly in lakes, like to fish for trout cat fish, kokanee, I live in Utah. I saved the reel so just need a new rod and would like a good back up rod [signature] Re: [sandrastevens] need to buy new rod any suggestions? - flygoddess - 10-28-2013 Replacing the guide is also an easy solution. I thought Ugly Sticks were pretty reliable. Maybe you got one with a defect. Good luck and get back out ASAP. It is only going to get better.[] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] need to buy new rod any suggestions? - sandrastevens - 10-28-2013 how do you do that? [signature] Re: [sandrastevens] need to buy new rod any suggestions? - flygoddess - 10-28-2013 It would require a little rod building. Buy the guide and some thread. Coat with some Epoxy. Something that comes in handy if you fish a lot. I always pack an in field repair kit. It might not be purdy, but it can be done pretty easy. I have repair a couple of rods with fly tying thread and SHHAN (Sally Hansens Hard As Nails) Still use that rod.
