Fixing Rod Tip Top 4.2mm Tube

[BassnMusky54]

Bought a rod, first time going to use it and realized the Rod Tip was broken. Store was out of stock and told me to take it up with Shimano.

Shimano ships me a new rod tip the wrong size. Then tells me they are out of the correct size, and cant replace the rod or rod tip till mid 2022.

So i'm stuck with this rod I purchased already broken, and I have to fix it on my own.

 

To make it more fun the rod uses a 4.2mm tip, but I can only find 4.0mm or 4.5mm on mudhole.com or anywhere.

 

Can I use 4.0 or 4.5mm tube or is there a site to buy a 4.2mm tube size?

4.5 will work, 4.0 maybe (assuming Shimano's specs are correct).  I would get the 4.5, and build up the blank if need be and run that until the original comes in.
