gretsch Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Depending on how much of the tip you lost will determne the feasibility of repair. I broke the tip on an expensive 1 piece flick stik and I adjusted the last three guides and put a new tip runner on the broken end... It is now better than before as it is more stiff and great for throwing plastics. Despite whether you obtain a replacement top section, you should do this as then you wil have a spare section and, one that gives the rod a different performance.

Jewhunter Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Good tip Ceph. I've done the same thing myself. It's easy to turn a 1-3kg stick into a 2-4kg one. Then you have 2 rods for the price of 1.5! Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have 2 rods for the price of 1.5! Cheers, Grant. That's right.. And, you never know when you will break that tip again (or lose the whole lot over the side as I seem to be good at!!)

Depending what brand they should be able to help. Also, a lot of home and contents insurance policies will cover accidental breakage of sport equipment even while outside.
