Guest Brad_c Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Hey guys, While i was fishing this fall i smacked the tip of my rod against the boat and the piece that goes around the inside of ring busted out, i dont know how to fix this problem and I think I should because this will cause the line to wear because the piece of mineral or whatever was in there helps the line go in and out smoothly. anyone else ever have this problem or know how to get it fixed???

Guest cplummer Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 brad i'm a custom rod builder all you have to do is find a tip thats the same size then use is a glue stick, cut a small sliver off the glue stick the use a pin to stuff it into the guide then heat it up and insert on the end of the rod but you must line it up fast because the glue hardens fast.. it's hard to judge the size but looks like a 5.5 size from here . if you still can't figure it out then e-mail me i'll fix it free of charge.(cost of the tip not included) cliff...
