Jonny15678 Posted October 14, 2022 Posted October 14, 2022 My fishing Butt is wearing out on my rod, it’s dobyn’s fury series, it is foam. How hard would it be to replace this? Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted October 14, 2022 Super User Posted October 14, 2022 Contact Dobyns - can probably get them to send you a new butt piece. Then it's just a matter of scraping the old one off and gluing the new one on. 2 Quote
Super User casts_by_fly Posted October 14, 2022 Super User Posted October 14, 2022 foam is pretty stretchy so you can probably just slide it up over the butt of the rod. easy enough if you just take your time. Nothing special needed but a razor blade and some 24 hour epoxy. 1 Quote
Super User MickD Posted October 14, 2022 Super User Posted October 14, 2022 Got a photo of the rod in question? I would be a lot more confident in commenting if I could see the problem. I'm not sure what you mean by "wearing out." Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted October 14, 2022 Super User Posted October 14, 2022 That Dobyns foam handle on the Furies is not thorn resistant, one of mine looks likes some rodent has been gnawing on it. If you have a cyclist friend, get a used road bike inner tube and cut it to length and slide it up, works like a charm, but other than cosmetic, the rod will fish fine without it. Quote
Super User MickD Posted October 14, 2022 Super User Posted October 14, 2022 If it's just surface deterioration another good solution is to wrap all grips with Winn tape. Quote
