OJY&DOIIIY Fishing Rod Tip Repair Kit with Glue,Complete Supplies for Fishing Pole Tip Replacement with Fishing Rod Epoxy,Top Eyelets and Wrapping Thread

POKE A HOLE IN THE GLUE BOTTLE NOSSLE FIRST!!!!!! Had to replace two rod tips and decided to go with this kit after doing some research. Every product on the planet is going to have negative reviews regardless, but I mainly look for a pattern such as "the glue is sticky even after using the light it came with" well that's just dumb because it's the worlds tinniest UV keychain light. What kind of results are you looking for lol. It states that if the glue is still sticky after using small light to put the rod in direct sunlight for up to 5hrs. Well, I would only assume that if you don't have a bright UV light to cure the glue, it would need to sit out there regardless, at least with the light UV light that comes with this kit you can dry it more than enough to at least handle it roughly. I still plan on putting it in the sun as I don't have a powerful YV light.Another bad review I came across was that the glue bottle tip would fly off when squeezing and spill everywhere... Again, DUMB.. Just use a thumb tac and poke the tip of the glue bottle before using.. DUHHHHHHH..But, overall, this kit did wonders and works great. It came with basically two of each size ranging from pretty small too big, instructions, two fine grit sandpaper sheets, 1 hot glue stick, glue, keychain light, storage case, roll of little masking tape, and string wrap on a roll.

This kit includes multiple sizes of tips, thread, hardening gel and a UV light. Your repair can be completed in minutes- definitely worth the low cost for a solid pole repair that lasts!

Nice product and durability for the price! I've fixed over 5 fishing poles with this kit. I really like that it comes with different size tips as well. I recommend this than buying at a store!

I had 2 falcon rods that got caught up in the power window and snapped off. This kit worked perfectly and was very reasonable.

I was a little shocked when I opened the package and found that the kit had opened in the shipping box; nothing was damaged or missing, and after a quick inspection I realized the manufacturer just needs to provide a box with a smidge more space inside to contain all the kit supplies. (I got it all to fit after my first repair without having to force anything in its place) No big deal though. You use the kit like you would a "standard" kit: heat the broken tip guide, and twist it off. The sand paper swatches included were of high quality and removed all the old tip glue in quick order. Test fit the right size guide (they have a wide range that should fit most standard freshwater, and even some larger saltwater rods) Heat the resin stick provided, get glue evenly around the tip, and fit the replacement tip while resin is hot. (or reheat it if not) Make sure it's lined up with the rest of the guides and wait for resin to cool until hard. (I shaved down some of the squished out resin that accumulated at the base of the tip guide with a new hobby knife & blade) The tied the provided wrapping twine on, wrapped it onto the rod and onto the base of the tip guide. I then set a timer on my phone for the recommended two minutes for UV cure time, (tip: tie a small hook on the end of the wrapping twine and take up most of the excess that isn't wrapped, then set the hook into the foam twine spool, this will help you keep tension for the next step) I then applied the UV cured resin, set a timer on my phone and provided UV curing light, hit star on the timer and spun the rod back and forth in an overlapping back and forth arc to allow the UV resin to spread evenly while curing. By the time the timer was up, the UV resin was rock hard. (a tiny bit of surface tack made me continue with the UV light and rotating the rod for an additional 20-30 seconds, but I believe that to be a matter of UV cured resins, not inferior UV resin, as it it was far from problematic and the tack dissipated after a short time. With the same hobby knife, I cut the twine from the cured wrapping and took a small hobby file to the tiny bump that was left due to the cutting of the tag end of the wrapping twine. And then I did the tug and twist test. I think I could've twisted the pole to the point of it breaking the new tip guide, the hold was that strong. I did not place the kit back in my work room; it went right into the tackle bag, because this kit could easily be used on a boat or sitting on a bank and could mean the difference between a miserable day of fishing, or a fantastic one. I will be ordering this product again... if somehow I end up breaking ten rod tip guides (which is not outside the realm of possibility with me, even though I've had a rod in my hand for over 37 years near constantly, lol)

Nice little kit, but don't trust the resin bottle. It's too finely tipped and doesn't let the resin come out easily. When I was trying to squeeze it out, the top popped off and the resin went everywhere!

worked great, fixed three rods. easy to use

I'm not up on measuring centimeters or parts of millimeters! This kit contains several different sizes. I used the tried and true method of sizing. I stuck different tips on until one fit snuggly!!
