Sadly, the last time I went fishing with my dad and brother, my dad's fishing rod, a Bill Dance ultralight, fell victim to a door closed at an innoppurtune moment.
I remember seeing a tip in I think the Member Directory thingy saying that the rod tips that break off could be used as an ice fishing setup. Does anyone know if this is true, and how to do it? Would I have to cut off a guide to make room for a reel zip-tied to the rod, or should I take the reel seat and put it on the end of the half-rod? The rod broke in between the largest and second-largest guides, the tip half still has about 2 and a half feet to it, and I still have both pieces, but some material inside the rod was lost so I can't just tape the two pieces back together. Any thoughts?
