                  Seriously, the only thing you can do is to send them to somebody trustworthy like scott at eselle pole repairs. Apparently, he does a very good job & is very competitively priced, he is probably more qualified to tell you how to maintain them as well.

                            Viagra nob is right just stick some boxing tape on the male joint,alternatively you can buy a joint spray ive seen it in the tackle shop i think prestons make it.

                                best thing is candle wax ….or joint spray like sensas ptfe spray ….but not a joint saver or sleeve

                                  Any one had their pole repaired at Esselle?

                                  Just wondering how much a repair to a top 3 roughly would be?

                                    TOURNAMENT-TOM the best thing to use if they are not worn to much is nail polish hardener see ask any one in the make up shops for the best one its about £6 then candle wax them do it every month and they will last ages

                                        if its only slight wear after every session clean with soapy water and then give them a good polish on both joints . ive used joint sprays befor they are a waist of time your hands will be black after a session fishing.

                                                Godfish…I recently had the miss fortune,finding my 14mt section with a big hole in it on my 301,got in touch with Scot,had it back inside a week,£30,job done,touched up the graphics myself,several of my mates have been impressed with the repair, looks almost like new,I can’t say enougth about the guy,certainly saved me going out and buying a new section – give him a call or send an email.

                                                  Scotts repairs are spot on,
                                                  i’ve had a no5 section,and a power top 2 done, both are sound if not stronger than before.
