WPCfishing Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 The eyelet on the tip of one of my rods popped out and broke yesterday. Can a new eyelet be installed or will the tip have to be replaced? Quote
Global Moderator Solution Bluebasser86 Posted August 10, 2015 Global Moderator Solution Posted August 10, 2015 You'll have to replace the tip top guide. It's a very quick and simple process though and won't effect the rod at all if done properly. 1 Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted August 10, 2015 Super User Posted August 10, 2015 Rod tips are usually put on with the same kind of glue used on arrow heads. I just has to be heated and removed. Then a new one glued in. I had that happen to a rod this week and got it replaced for less than $5. Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted August 10, 2015 Super User Posted August 10, 2015 Gentle heat....slowly. it doesn't take much to melt a blank! I've fixed many that wouldn't come off with heat. Had to carefully cut the tube with a Dremel and cutoff wheel and pry the tube off with a small screwdriver. Quote
WPCfishing Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 I'm having a local builder replace it. I want a top that can handle braid with a leader knot. I also want the eyelet a size larger. Any Fuji model suggestions? I want the best I can get. Quote
