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. |

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

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.
