Hi guys....I am not a rod builder and am a bit of newbie period. But I thought all of you with all of your expertise may be willing to lend some advice.  

I have a rod with a cork handle and the butt of the cork broke off.   :-[  Can this be repaired and, if so, what do you recomment. I don't have a picture (which would obviously help tremendously) as the rod's in my bass boat 2 hours drive from here.  It broke off something like a half an inch above the butt end of the rod blank.  Appreciate any advice you can offer.  Terry

You can recap it with an end cap ( of cork, vinyl, rubber or eva) or if you lost length  (or just want more) you can plug the blank and cork the plug and make a new end while you are at it.  When you get the rod in hand let me know... I'll send you specific directions based on which way you want to fix it.  Plus you'll need either an end cap or a few cork rings, I can help you locate the materials you need.

Are you in Arkansas?   I have a friend in AR that's a great builder, if you are close to him, he would probably help you repair it for free.  Let me know if interested and I'll get you his contact info.

WELCOME AND A MERRY  X-MAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the advice Flechero, offer of help and leads to a builder (or offer of one, anway).  I'll do as you suggested and once I get near the rod again, I'll be in touch.  by the way, I'm in the KC area and my boat and equipment are at Lake of the Ozarks in MO.  

and thanks for the welcome, Bass-Brat
