need to buy new rod any suggestions?

[mad]Hello at my last fishing adventure one of the leader rings for the line broke of It was a Shakespeare ugly stick a had used this rod 3 times so imagine my disappointment on it breaking so easily.
I fish mostly in lakes, like to fish for trout cat fish, kokanee, I live in Utah.
I saved the reel so just need a new rod and would like a good back up rod

Replacing the guide is also an easy solution. I thought Ugly Sticks were pretty reliable. Maybe you got one with a defect.
Good luck and get back out ASAP. It is only going to get better.[]

It would require a little rod building. Buy the guide and some thread. Coat with some Epoxy. Something that comes in handy if you fish a lot. I always pack an in field repair kit.
It might not be purdy, but it can be done pretty easy.


I have repair a couple of rods with fly tying thread and SHHAN (Sally Hansens Hard As Nails) Still use that rod.
