Cracked/chipped ferrule, how to fix?

[PressuredFishing]

Hi there, I have a spinning rod 2 pc that b, the ferrule that you insert the other piece into chipped and cracked but rod did not snap, I was thinking epoxy to turn it into a 1 PC and do thread wraps with more epoxy to secure, I've never built a rod so any ideas are appreciated

Picture? You probably don't have a ferrule, it's integral to the blank. Resin and wrap will work as long as it's not too far gone.

Okay nice, I always try to put images up but my phones images are too high quality and even on the lowest resolution are a butt yo upload, let me try this  (edit) Okay it worked but the other piece of the rod slides into that hole, but that part of the hole cracked, if you think resin+wrap will still work awesome, the rod still can be put together tightly and comfortably it will just come apart after a few casts

That's worse than I was thinking based on what I read in the OP. How is that not a snap?

That would be broken. Tomato stake!

I know I know it looks worse than it is lol, but that's right where the blanks connect

What you want in your repair is to add a ferrule ring. 

The idea is to keep the damaged female ferrule from splitting worse in fatigue. 

These are  examples of the first tip-over ferrules (not spigot) from Phillipson c. 1972. 

Note the brass rings, which are there to help prevent splitting. 

 

ps - The late fabled rodbuilder Tom Morgan added ferrule rings to all his spigot ferrules

@PressuredFishing - here's a source for the part

Take some measurements and contact them for their size.

What rod is this? Stuff to fix it right may cost more than a replacement ...

It's an ultralight bps rod, ran like 30 dollars, fourth rod of their ultralight series that has failed me, I am really gentle with my rods too

You can use the same idea that pipe smokers in WW1 used as well, known as a "military mount" there is plenty of information available on it if you choose to look it up that can show it more completely and efficiently than I can.

Kuying BFS rods get really good reviews from the BFS on a budget crowd. Some like the Tsurinoya brand instead. And while they are a little more expensive than the basspro, probably a little less snapping too.

Cdm equipment has come so so far, I was actually going to pick one up with that new tsu dark wolf ultra for trout but I held the bait monkey back... for now. I've made myself a promise if I break another UL rod I'm getting a tsurinoya, kuying, or a ace hawk rod. Put an order in a few days ago for UL trout spoons 1.1 gram, they should be fun

I would just wrap that end with thread (about an inch) and finish the thread with epoxy. Then see if it will stay connected as a two piece rod...if not then just epoxy it into a one piece.

Did you ever try one of the recommendations? I’m interested to hear and see how it may have turned out. Also is that the PTC series rod?
