IMPROVING ROD TIPS
By A. MANNING, JR.
With the tube style of tip guide which is still found on some casting rods, the line has a great tendency to cling to the rod when it gets wet, interfering considerably with its free running qualities. This can be easily remedied with a small pair of pliers. Grasp the guide with the pliers at the point marked 1, Fig. A, and bend upward to an angle of approximately 45 degrees. Then grasp at the point marked 2 and bend the extreme tip back into parallel with the rest of the rod. Fig. B shows the completed job. With this arrangement the line is lifted well above the rod so that it cannot cling and cause trouble.
