Wrap on tip top guides are a bit belt and braces but that extra leg of metal almost guarantees you are not going to lose your top if the line gets tangled on the cast, but i am not sure your rod will survive. With ordinary tip tops I tend to just blob a bit of glue down tube and onto the rod and wipe of the excess, but wiping wrap on guides can be a mission in itself hence the injecting down the tube and slowly pushing it on so the excess resin runs out the little gap at the end, it is never a snug fit so there is always space foe the glue to do its job. A little bit of wax helps the excess resin drip off.

Tengo una caña de pescar y justamente tengo que hacerle ese trabajo! Cómo se llama esa pieza y dónde la podría conseguir,y el hilo 😢
Honestly this whole rod making think looks alot like fly tieing. Maybe ill give it a go anyone got a good brand of rod blanks?? Im use to st croix and g loomis rods. And i fly fish alot. Im not afraid to spend money on quality gear.
I remember back in the 1960s when I was making my first rod, it was so much fun and I stil have it😊😊😊
Now that is CRAFTSMANSHIP at a new level! I once had an Uncle that handmade rods and they were way better than factory.
КЛАССНО ПОЛУЧИЛОСЬ👌НАКОНЕЧНИКИ ЧАСТО ВЫХОДЯТ ИЗ СТРОЯ.ЭТО,ЛИЧНО У МЕНЯ😅
I’ve watched this 20 times. I don’t know why. Now I wanna start eyeing my own poles from scratch. I already spend too much money on fishing gear and equipment. Now I’m looking into tying my own flies and making poles. Thanks 😂
I prefer to use rod tip adhesive. Looks like a glue stick and uses heat. Easier to remove if needed.
I am not going to lie I just get the rod tip glue heat it up and call myself the repairman, but watching this was so dang satisfying. What a share I will do it like this from now on thanks for all you do.❗May bass and whatever you fish for be under the tip of your rods and lily pads bless you❗ As for as I'm concerned this is the top video of 2023 simply outstanding short sweet to the point music and all by far the best!
where you buy this rod tip repair kit? what is brand or name of this repair kit?
What's the purpose of wrapping the top guide? I thought some glue&epoxy should hold the strength
Music, craftmanship, and the whole video show the best of you , salute !
Now I won't need to take my rods to the person I buy them off, learn how to build them myself and sell them 💪👊
