On high quality rods you can usually remove them by heating the metal tube
and pulling the tip off the rod. On many cheap rods the tip of the rod
melts when you try to get metal hot enough to get the tip off hte rod.

Wouldn't know if you'd call it high quality or not..it's a BPS extreme.
Think it's best if I let my local tackle shop take care of it? I'd rather
not deal with shipping it back to BPS and such as I'm sure this will take
much longer than necessary.
