Broken Tict Ice Cube 69f rockin finesse

Post by P413 » Sat Feb 29, 2020 9:03 pm

I accidentally high-sticked my Tict Ice Cube rod while trying to net a slab crappie and snapped off the solid carbon tip section of my rod. This is the top 5-6 inches of solid carbon tip. This rod is a 2 piece rod and I was wondering is it possible to just buy the top piece of the rod and salvage the bottom piece to reuse? I'm thinking this could save a lot of money over buying a completely new rod. Any ideas? The rod was only 3 seasons old and my favorite crappie rod. Thanks.

Yes...I have replaced 2 upper sections on rods. Not cheap but better than buying a complete new rod. I would contact Digitaka and tell them what you need.

Sometimes, I've just cut off the broken part right up to the next guide. And once, it actually became a better rod...and I use it still. You may want to test that first before ordering a new top.

I am surprised that the solid carbon part broke - normally solid tips can be bent pretty severely.
