OkolonasFinest Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 The ceramic insert inside the rod tip eyelet Of my TP1 came out. Anyone know if Lew’s will fix this or how to go about repairing? Should I just replace the entire rod tip? Thanks! Quote
garroyo130 Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Whats your timeframe? I believe Lews Customer Service is closed due to COVID 19 Quote
OkolonasFinest Posted April 6, 2020 Author Posted April 6, 2020 No rush at all. I’ve got other rods so I’ll manage I just noticed today and had heard about Lew’s customer service and was curious if they could fix it Quote

I know this sounds crazy, but the same thing happened to my Okuma EVX, and I just JB welded it back in. I haven't had any problems, it's been almost 2 years now. Quote
Kidflex Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Push the insert back in, put a small bead of epoxy around the insert and frame ensuring the inside of the insert is free of epoxy. It should hold fine after that, unless the tip frame is cracked. 1 Quote
