Rod tip repair with Mason

A couple of days ago I met 7 year old Mason at the dawn service and noticed his rod tip was in need of a rod tip repair.

But we before we continue I’d like to share some great news! 

From 6-12th May we are having a May Madness sale and reducing the price of all our online fishing courses including Barra Basics.

But I digress…

Back to rod tips…

It’s so easy to crack the ceramics in your guides, especially the rod tip necessitating a rod tip repair.

Quite often cracks and chips are pretty hard to see. Best bet is to run your fingernail over the guide.

You’ll feel any cracks easily and put it on the list for replacement.

Cracked ceramic guide needing rod tip repair

If you don’t replace the guide however, your line can catch on the sharp edge and snap.

That trophy fish you’ve wanted all your life will be gone. Because the more load on the line, the more likely this is to happen.

All because you failed to do a simple rod tip repair.

Yes Murphy’s Law. It won’t happen reeling in a tiddler. It’ll wait till you hook something SOLID.

Preparation really is key when it comes to catching good fish.

Looking after your guides and line rollers, setting your drag correctly and learning how to tie a wind on leader system are all important parts of the process.

It’s not good enough simply to use the right gear.

Keeping your drag nice and smooth is also a necessity.

Doing a rod tip repair is so simple a kid can do it!

Here at Ryan Moody Fishing we’re committed to getting kids interested in fishing.

But it’s not just the act of fishing that gets them engaged.

They also love learning new skills.

Young Mason couldn’t wait to come over once we suggested we would repair his rod tip together.

It was his idea to do the intro haha. Reciting Ryan’s mantra Fish Harder not Smarter that we use in all our videos and online fishing courses.

In this video we do a simple rod tip repair with 7 year old Mason.

In the end we have a surprise for him and the reaction is priceless!

Catch more fish in less time with our fishing tips and courses.

What we most love about this business is getting to help anglers catch more fish in less time.

And hanging out with great kids like Mason.

If you want to take your fishing game to the next level, consider one of our Fish Smarter online fishing courses.
