Roasting Fork

Did some happen to step on your favorite rod and break it? No need to throw it all away. Buy a roasting fork. Pull up the metal cap on the handle and use a chisel to split off the wood. Wrap tape around the rod until you have a tight fit into the rod handle (about 4″-5”) in sections. Then glue it into place. I used 2-part rod making handle adhesive but I am sure any 2-part epoxy will work. On the casting rods, I sanded down the trigger so it doesn’t get in the way while rotating it. I must have been asked 5 time last weekend where I got my fork. Thought I would share.

pretty neat idea!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately one of those looks familiar.

One of the forks was a musky rod. So instead of splitting off the handle on the roasting fork. I just sanded it down a little and glued it into place.

But it is the nicest looking one. The replacement rod is on it way. The handle is glued together and I will start the thread work tonight.

One of my favorite ice fishing rods was 24″ of a broken walleye jigging rod jammed into 6″ of broomstick.

My wife managed to break my favorite, best, go-to rod this past weekend while getting out of a canoe with some friends. I feel like this post is speaking directly to me.

Nice! I have a couple of those laying around waiting to be made into a project.

Seems to me you have the perfect reason to purchase a new rod, one to which your wife cannot reasonably object.

And for the golfers that wrapped their club around a tree you can make a roasting stick too.
