I bought a repair kit from BPS, and it works like magic...Buy the new eyes and pick up one of those sewing kits that have a lot of different colors in it.

Cut the old epoxy off the and around the broken Rod Eye and remove eye. Clean up the surface area and place ne Rod Eye on rod in old Position.

Now take the thread holder and start applying the thread and cover as much as you want. After you have the thread applied, apply some epoxy to the thread area and let dry. I usually apply about 5 coats of epoxy to my repairs. Works like a charm.

By the way if you go back thru the old Posts there was a new member on here that done Rod Repairs for a reasonable price.... Sorry the member was located on the actual Fishin.com Kentucky Discussion Board.....

Also in an issue of Bassmaster, about 5 or 6 issues ago, one of the articles in it was how to make your own Rod Repair Stand using a mouse trap to hole the thread. I have the page saved in my Fishing book. So if you want it emailed to you I can scan the articlae and send it to you. Then you can repair your own rods....

Thanks Clyde
