just the tip
does anyone do any rod repairing? some how about an inch of the tip of my rod broke yesterday and rather than just trashing it, i would like to look into getting it repaired. please feel free to respond or pm. thanks!
Re: just the tip
If it's just an inch, just put on a new tip. If the rod has a warranty, send it back.

If it is just the tip, you can go buy a repair kit for it. Tip guides aren't wrapped so it is an easy DIY job. They come with various size tip guides that you just glue on.
Another thing to try is heating up the broken tip to remove the rod part from the guide. If you can get it off, it may fit right back on.

Re: just the tip
it is the guide plus about an inch of rod. if i were to take the guide off the broken tip and just place it on the rod, how would it affect the rod? thanks for the help already!

For that short of a break, you're not going to notice anything different.smcdonnell wrote:it is the guide plus about an inch of rod. if i were to take the guide off the broken tip and just place it on the rod, how would it affect the rod? thanks for the help already!
