1327.0. "New Kind'a Fishing Rod?" by FARAD::GIBSON (DTN225-5193) Tue Feb 13 1990 12:36

    I was just reading this weeks copy of Fisherman Magizine when I noticed
    an advertisment for a new kind of custom fishing rod. It was called a 
    Sweet Stiks. What a strange name for a fishing rod? Don't ya think?
    
    Could that be our very own Cap't Codfish (Sweet)?? 
    
    Anyway I think I'll have to try one of them there COD jigging types and
    give a technical equipment evaluation on it? Kinda like a DVT.
    
    Next thing ya know he'll be making Sweet Water Rods for trout fishing?

	Yes its my add....and your rod is nearly done, just have to put the polymer finish on it. You can test drive it in about 2 weeks..... Bruce

What a strange name for a fishing rod? Don't ya think? Well, there's Ugly Stik, Rhino Rod, Bionic Blade, Lady Lite, Samurai Stick, Bullwhip Rod.. No, I don't think "Sweet Stik" is a strange name at all... Ed

	Bruce, Are you getting any orders? I hate to see you too busy to get out on Sweet Dream II and fish......
1327.4	Help make this rod whole	GENRAL::HUNTER	from SUNNY Colorado, Wayne	`Wed Feb 14 1990 15:09`	10
	I'll put this here for lack of time to do a search over the NET at snail's pace. PROBLEM: 1 Southbend Flippin' stick. Originally single piece. NOW, 2 piece with no method of joining. Line class 10-25# test, graphite. QUESTION: What is the BEST method of joining these 2 pieces to make this a one piece rod again????? Where would I find these joining parts? HOW MUCH? This is a cheap rod so I won't spend much money before it finds a quick trip to the trash can.
1327.5	Quik Fix?	PACKER::GIBSON	DTN225-5193	`Wed Feb 14 1990 16:19`	15
	Well Wayne What I would do is to cut back a section of the smaller diameter end untill it fits into the larger diameter end. Then take the little section you just cut off and turn it around backwards and epoxy it into the large end. You have just made a ferrul to fit the two sections together. Now you may need to lightly sand the ends so they slide together. Then wrap some thread around the both ends to dress them up and keep the glass from splitting. put some clear laqure on the thread and go fishing. Of course you could just wittle a chunk of wood and jam the two pieces together & tie up the mess with dental floss & give it a like of pink nail polish. Naw....
1327.6	I agree...	LEVERS::SWEET	Capt. Codfish...GW Fishing Team	`Thu Feb 15 1990 12:49`	6
	I think Walt hit the nail on the head. As remember, Dale Clemans recommends a very similar procedure for making pack rods or other multi-segment rods. I will check the book and get back to you with more info. Bruce
