yes mate. if done proffessionally your pole should perform as good as before the break.

if not stronger than it was before!

http://www.polerepairs.co.uk/ …tell scott i sent you.. 😎

If you are a competant DIYer and not a bodger you could do it yourself…check outhttp://www.carbonmods.co.uk/Departments/carbon-fiber-kits.aspx The kit costs £36 including p&p and has full instructions and there’s a video to watch on the web too.

I’ve just received one and will be looking at repairing a no6 and a topkit. maybe a no5 if I set my stall out to do all of them at once.

Or give yourself less hassle but more cost and send it to Scott or similar .

got a kit last week, any advice on how to repair the inside of the male end of a section.

I’m not an expert mind:

Whats the internal diameter of the male end of your section? 😮
What pole and which section is it?

What’s occurred? Delamination? A crush?

If you have a piece of old pole section that you could sleeve through the section and glue that in with the resin in the kit then cut back when dry that would work. I’ve done that with no4 and no5 sections on my lads Conny Ultra.

Using the cloth from the kit I would expect to be more tricky, you would need to make some sort of mandrel to help apply pressure on the inside to the cloth as it cured. Maybe a condom/balloon 😮 on the inside and tape round the outside to keep things from cracking or bulging. Then remove carefully.

Anyone else with ideas? Be surprised if those that do this for money will be willing to divulge their method…but who knows 😎

you have pm

it is a trabucco no 6 from a tfs supercup, 33mm diameter
2inch split on the male end, its a clean cut.

Drop it off on Rochdale Angling Tony. They’ll get Danny Sixsmith to do it. It’ll be stronger than new.

The drive from Ireland maynt be cost effective :confused:
Hence the question.
Have sent sections off to a few lads and Esselle is first class but its for a pole im going to sell and want to keep cost down.

Sorry mate, I was replying to Tony CSAS

Tony, spoke with Phil today he used this guy who he recommends, think he worked at Aerospace so should know about carbon fibre

What Johnny said.
I have had a couple of repairs done by Danny and they are stunning.

Dropping off at Rochdale from Ireland :confused: apparantly was not an option Dunno wanted..
