Broke another rod

[rrt]

I slipped on some rocks and broke the tip section of my 9' 6-wt. rod yesterday morning. I had an extra metal tip at home, so I cut another couple inches off the rod and superglued another tip on. It'll probably do for nymph fishing, but we'll have to see. (I do have a couple other rods, both 8'6" that I can use. They're now 2 inches longer than my former 9' rod.)

That makes at least 6 broken rods in the past 5 years.

I broke about 3" off of a 9' 6" 6 wt and performed the same repair, new tiptop on the broken end. It has remained in service just fine. Feels a hair faster than it did before...

I broke literally just the tip off an old Sage LL rod awhile back.. . . just epoxied a new tip onto the broken section. It's now 8'8" rather than 8' 9". Hard to believe that one inch can make a difference but the rod does have a very slightly faster feel to it.

Slow & steady, a wading staff and pointing your rod tip BEHIND you if the sailing isn't clear ahead all help keep rods full length...

Broke the tip off my 10 ft 3 wt,
Glued a new tip top on, but the 9 ft 10 inch just doesn't fish the same
