If you keep a couple of different sizes of tiptops in your tackle box , the
repair can be done by anyone while on the water. Simply keep a stick of the
Fuji hot melt glue and a lighter handy. If you have a pair of those
fishermen's forceps you can avoid burnt fingers. Just carefully heat the
tiptop and pull it off the blank tip. Then heat some of the glue onto the
blank tip and quickly slide the replacement tip on. Yer back fishing in 5
min. or less.

My local pro shop makes the repair in 5 minutes and charges $3. I would
call
around or do it yourself.

I was using my bait caster when I noticed it started feeling weird for
casting and such. Upon checking it out, it seems the rubber/plastic
piece
in the last eye-hole is gone. Can I buy a replacement for this? Is it
necessary? I can't imagine it's a good thing not to have it there.
Thanks
in advance.
