Replacement rod ring for Daiwa powermesh.

[John Allan]

Hi everyone..first time posting on here and I need a little help.
I took abit of a tumble on the riverbank last week and apart from a cracked rib the only damage was to a ring on my Daiwa powermesh barbel rod.
Can anyone tell me what model rings they are or can recommend a suitable replacement to match with the originals?

Many thanks

Hi John,
Welcome to BFW and sorry for your mishap, a cracked rib I believe is bloody painful, my Missus had one a few years ago from a fall playing netball!! (Meant to be non contact!! ) I’m sure you’ll be back on the bank soon with rod repaired now that Graham has put you right

You’ll need a caliper to measure the guide. Take the measurement from the outside diameter of the insert

Thanks Bill, it has slowed me down a little altho it didnt stop me blanking on the Trent on Monday night. To be fair I wasnt the only one.

Thanks Richard, Ive found a supplier , Rod Rings and Things ,but emailed to ask if the they measure inside or outside diameter- Guides and Blanks seem to measure by ID which is a little fiddlier to do.

Most tip ring measurements for 'tube' diameter go up/down in size steps of 0.2 mm.
Example 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 ............

Cheers Bob

Thanks Bob. Its actually third ring from the tip.

 

[John Allan]

Thanks everyone for their advice....rings ordered. Ive allowed myself a couple of spares for future use.

Must be going daft - got it in my mind that it was a tip ring. Apologies.

John. I rember walking from the St Pats stream to the Thames. I had the green hard Eefgo? Tackle box.

As one leg got caught on the Stile it was a case of falling on the rods or the box.
The corner of the box caught me smack in the ribs.

In real pain I soldiered on over the field znd actually managed three Thames barbel before it became too much.

Two cracked ribs diagnosed. You will know who your mates are if they try and make you laugh!

And a cough is pure agony.

I have 2 of the 2.25 Powermesh for Trent work. Great value rods with fantastic action.

That’s strange.
are you sure? I always thought the measurement on rod rings with inserts was strictly out side diameter of the insert.

 

[John Allan]

Richard they use the term "ID size comparison" to compare the sizes of different brands of ring. I take that to mean Internal Diameter but I may be wrong. Rod Rings and Things say they measure rings in the same manner as you described.

Graham I can imaginehow painful that was. I had a fallen tree trunk hidden in nettles to brake my fall.

Ive just had another look at Guides & Blanks before I hit the post button. They describe measuring the ring by the outside of the insert as you say. So "ID size comparison chart" clearly means something else, although it does list measurements of different models. Confusing but I wont lose sleep over it.

 

[Richard Isaacs]

Yeah I wouldn’t describe that as ID
If we forget about the frame for a second and just concentrate on the insert itself then it’s definitely the OD measurement you take.
