Rod eye repair?
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. Christopher

You can get a tip replacement kit at the sporting goods store, but I'm not
sure of the best way to remove the old one. I've only had to do this kind of repair on a broken tip. Rich P "Christopher P. Cericola" wrote in message roups.com...

My local pro shop makes the repair in 5 minutes and charges $3. I would call
around or do it yourself. "Christopher P. Cericola" wrote in message roups.com... I was using my bait caster when I noticed it started feeling weird for casting and such.

Rod eye repair?
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. -- Dave Norton The RodMaker Millennium Custom Rods "Richard Liebert" wrote in message ... My local pro shop makes the repair in 5 minutes and charges $3.

Sorry folks, a stupid question:
What is the purpose of the thread at the tiptop? Thanks, Nikolay On Fri, 15 Oct 2004, D.
