Replacement rods for an old bull blind

Messed up forecast, didn't get my bull blind out before 10 inches of wet snow crushed it. Any idea where I could get replacement rods? I only need 3 (42.5 ") but not much showing up on an internet search. Its old but still works for me. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a Double Bull Dark Horse blind. and the metal knob on the end of one of the rods broke off. I called Primos and they sent me 4 new rods for $16, shipping included. Now that was about 10 years ago, so I'm sure the price has gone up, but they shipped quick and got me back in business. I had to cut the new rod to the correct length, but it only took a couple minutes.

Give them a call. Good Hunting.

You can get a tent pole repair kit at walmart for cheap. That should work.

Call primos. Great customer service.

I bought my Double Bull before Primos took it over. Primos still honor life time warranty and have replaced multiple broken poles on 2 different occasions. Rep was able to get correct length even though the design lengths had changed a bit over the years.

I went on line and found fiberglass rods in different diameters. Came in 4’ lengths if memory serves.

Old fishing rods?

x2 on the call Primos. I shipped a torn Double Bull. It also needed a new zipper (because I shot it). Got it back, and it's like it never really happened. Great customer service. You can fix it other ways, but why bother.

Call Primos as recommended. Also ask to buy a full set of poles. What I have done in the past. Now I have extras.

X3 on contacting Primos. They will send you new poles (that include the ball attached to the end of the rod. They come longer than needed, so you will need to cut them to the proper length for your particular blind. I’d order an few extras for possible future use. They only charge you for the shipping on them.

Lawdog, Speaking of replacement zippers. I just ordered and received from Rochford Supplies, two 30 inch, wide, heavy duty plastic zippers for my Double Bull blind , cost and shipping, $26. Only needed the lower one, so I have a spare. Will tack the new zipper on to the older zipper run with out removing the older zipper. My best Paul

A couple of years ago I loaned my son in law my T5 Blind. We drew Wyoming antelope tags this year so I told him I needed it back. When I took it out of the bag, 2 of the poles and hubs just fell out. He must of left it out as mice had chewed up all the bottom flaps, plus the fabric had a 12 inch tear in it. I sent it to Primos and the did an excellent job patching it up. Took it out to Wyoming and set it up for 3 days and when I took it down one of the hub screws that hold the tie down strings pulled thru the fabric and the hub fell out. I called Lorene Smith at the repair shop and told her what happened. She sent a prepaid shipping label to ship it back to them. When I got the blind back not only had they reinforced with new fabric at each hub but she also put all new hubs and poles in the entire blind. She was a pleasure to talk to and what great customer service. My old T5 is now ready for many more years of service.

I bought fiberglass grounding rods for electric fence from Murdocks

I seen a post today where the guy used fiberglass driveway markers.

Double Wow!!! Called Primos, they are sending me a new hub with 4 rods, no charge to me! What great treatment. I'll be sure to spread the good word!

That's pretty damn impressive CS! Good reason to support a company like that!

I’ve wrecked my fair share of blinds - from a crushing wet snow. A coupe years back I saw these telescoping rods at Cabelas that are designed to support the center hub when the blind is not in use. Haven’t broken a pole since …
