WANTED; 1/2 of a Shimano rod

[lineman49]

Looking for the bottom (butt end) 1/2 of a Shimano rod; Triton Downrigger rod; TDR- 1802; 8ft.; line = 8 -17 #; medium action. I had one break about 3" below where the top 1/2 slides into the bottom 1/2. Just thought someone might have one laying around from another old break. Thanks.

I have a diawa strike bottom. I broke my 8ft top last year poppin a rigger. Your welcome to it

Call shimano they may replace it... Its worth a try, okuma is usually no questions asked.

Thanks, but I tried one of those & they are a smaller diameter.

I just e-mailed them, I'll have to see what happens, thanks.

No help from Shimano, they only warranty for 1 yr, this rod is much older but it was worth a try.

Hey save the rod end and hit the LOTSA sale in march at Niagara fair grounds there are lots of great deals on gear new and used. So maybe find even a half rod. Prices are reasonable and you never know what will be there.

Bailey, thanks maybe I'll do that. I do have a lead on one in Sandy ck. area.

I'll be in sandy creek marina next Friday to fish with a buddy for kings. Tell the guy to get it to Capt. Lucas Falkner of Make the Turn Charters and I can bring it home with me.

If you mean ( Lineman) the sandy creek marina that is on Lake Ontario, that is my home port and near where I live. I will be fishing out of the Catt this Saturday and could pick up and give it to you if you plan on fishing out of there as well. I am a newbie to this forum and the Lake Erie fishery this year. I appreciate the info you guys bring to it. I live in Brockport to the south of Sandy, not far from rt19 that the marina is located on. Let me know.
