Old Rods………Good Uses
 

Have a handfull of old broken rods. Most have broken tips but aren’t good enough quality to try to repair. Anyone have any good uses for a broken rod? I hate throwing fishing stuff out. Interested to hear what creative uses you guys have done with old broken rods.

One of them is pretty beefy and I was thinking of adding a new tip for a kite rod (not that I kite fish or anything :)).
Also, I got a Go Pro from Santa. Was thinking I could somehow make a mount for the camera from one of the rods?????

Anyone have any ideas?

Definitely a GoPro underwater reach pole! See the GoPro Hints thread in DIY.

Buzzy's new out riggers?

My wife has actually used an old fishing rod as a curtain rod and it looks great in the right room

My wife and your wife would NOT get along. :)

shhh that's my secret!:biglaugh:

At least until someone takes a picture and post here.

tomato stakes. make a trelles for cukes or morning glories

gaff

Many guys look for broken rods to make gaffs out of like WPM suggested. I myself have made several to look like just like fishing rods. Cork grip, wrapping it with appropriate colors and so on.

I have one in the backyard with a red flag on it to hit golf balls at.

I have a 18w led lamp on one i use as underwater light just kind of jam it in the trim tab and spreader light up in the rocket launcher. I hook it to the 12v out from the generator
