What do you think when you suddenly discover a hole in the cork handle of your rod?
Many people cringe inwardly. Not because it’s big – but because the question immediately arises: can it even be repaired?
At Solitip, we think further than just tip fractures.
Because damage doesn’t just occur at the tip,
but often where you least expect it: in the handle.
In practice, such holes are often not a sign of age, but the result of industrial assembly with epoxy resin.
When the handle is pushed on, the resin is displaced, leaving cavities inside
and at some point the cork gives way at precisely this point.
In the video you can see how such a spot is opened, replaced and compacted again without replacing the entire handle – not an emergency solution, not a patchwork, but a clean repair based on the properties of cork that works permanently.
We at solispot are only too happy to reveal such details. Because good rods deserve more than hasty judgments and because repairing is often smarter than replacing.
