  1. For all those eagerly awaiting the solution to my problem, I figured I would update my original post to show the repair. All good. Hi All, This may be an old topic, but I am looking for advice on how to repair a broken rod. (Not the Tip- mid blank). I'm assuming I need to use a ferrule splice and then epoxy it in? Any better solutions? Any idea where to buy the ferrules?
  2. Hi Guys, I am absolutely clueless when it comes to rod repair but I have a question for my fellow rod builders and repairers alike. Ive got a problem with 2 pretty high end rods 1. is totally missing the ceramic from the top eyelet...yes ive fished without it for the year but its driving me a bit nuts because i fish braid. What would be the best way to repair this? Do i cut the top eyelet off somehow without wrecking the blank and glue a new one on? If so is it even possible to buy one fuji/or other high end eyelet for the tip of my rod? Or do i somehow find replacement cermic ring to epoxy into the eyelet? 2. Ive got a drop shot rod that I was fishing in the last cold snap with and sure enough after icing up the literal hell outta my rod fishing in -18 the cermic popped out of the eyelet. Ive still got the insert, and i was even able to poke it sorta back into the eyelet seat. But it pops back out periodically. Both Rods are Loomis, so i am not sure if they use a specific brand of ceramic? maybe even fuji? Once again I wouldnt give a crepe, but these are some pretty high end rods and im rattled that such a stupid thing is effecting their overall performance which is friggin awesome. Any help or guidance you guys can provide is greatly appreciated.
