Help! My two piece fishing rod is stuck together
5 Answers
My partner has a diawa high performance match rod HPB- 1
2mm
which is a graphite? Carbon? Unsure.. Fishing rod. I decided to clean it for him and used WD 40 on the joint then pushed the two pieces together. They stuck fast and nothing I did seperated them. It is a year on and I am desperate to seperate my rod as it is too long for the car! The WD40 is dried up I shoul imagine and the pieces are tight together no gap to pour any oil or anything to disolve the lubricant. I have tried twisting the two ends I oposite directions with a friend!!nothing will make it budge at all. Please has anyone any helpful suggestions as this is a £350 rod and they do not make them anymore. If noone can help does anyone have one I can buy off them!? Thanks p.s partner does not know as yet!!!! Oooo
