Default Rod eye repair?

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?


Only you can answer that. But if I can replace a tip-top, anyone can. Like
others said, heat the tube, then pull it off with pliers. Remove old dried
glue from the rod tip, then apply hot melt glue (some guys recommend
5-minute epoxy and other adhesives) and slip the new tip-top over the rod
tip. On the other hand, if the tackle shop's price is reasonable and they
don't have to keep the rod too long, I'd consider that. Here, I'd have to
leave the rod for a minimum of one week, and probably longer, because they
contract it out, they don't do it in-house.

I'd rather
not deal with shipping it back to BPS and such as I'm sure this will take
much longer than necessary.


I wouldn't even consider that except as a very last resort.
