U-40 Rod Bond

U-40 Rod Bond – Two-Part Epoxy Adhesive

Product Details

U-40 Rod Bond is the original rod builder’s adhesive, designed by a rod builder/engineer specifically for the unique requirements of custom fishing rods. This two-part epoxy adhesive cures into a tough, durable, yet flexible bond that holds strong without becoming brittle—perfect for the wide variety of applications in rod building.

Rod Bond is incredibly versatile: it can be moulded, machined, drilled, and tapped, and even accepts colour additives for custom effects. During assembly, it acts as a lubricant for handles, allowing precise positioning before curing.

Whether you’re working with cork, EVA, reel seats, ferrules, or butt caps, Rod Bond is the trusted choice for professional builders and hobbyists alike.
