So the other day I broke my fishing pole. I took the top section and am turning that into a tip for a wooden ice fishing jig pole. Anyone got any ideas that they have used the lower portion of a spinning rod for?

Well the fencing bit has been done before it only results in many welts on my part. I plan on saving the reel as it still has a lot of life left in it. The bottom part of the rod is still good if I could only buy a top section to go with it, but they typically don't sell them that way, so I may as well buy a new rod, probably going with an ugly stick this time around. I'd like to find a use for the rod rather than toss it.

put an old reel on it, and some heavy duty line. Tie a scent drag on it. You will be able to cast it out or have it off to the side of you easier as you walk next to a deer trail. Or cut a small hole in the bottom a turkey decoy, run some heavy duty line from the decoy to the lower section of the rod with reel attached, then tug the line, you now have a decoy that has some motion added to it.

I actually combined two poles. the bottom half, a blue southbend, the top is an old eagle claw. People make fun of it because it looks ridiculous, however, they weren't laughing when I caught eleven black drum from 20-26 inches with it yesterday and outfished them. Used a hose clamp to fuse them.

Yoda, it will not work well for large fish but for fish the size of Spanish Mackerel, Bluefish, or Spotted Seatrout, you can add a roller tip to the rod and make a trolling rod out of it. I have an old fiberglass two piece spinning rod that I used the lower section and added all roller guides along with an old Penn 309 series reel with the level wind removed. I have used it since 1974 to troll for Spanish Mackerel and it is still catches fish.
