    Default broken tip?


    I broke a tip on a slab seeker rod (rod box closed on it). What's the best way to go about fixing it.

    You can buy replacement tips at walmart that has a little piece of hot melt glue with it. Just take a lighter and heat the glue up and smear it on the rod tip and then push the new tip into place making sure the guides line up. That's it!

    It's not a regular rod tip. I wasn't sure that method would still work.

    I fish a lot of docks. I try to jam my jigs in to too many places and snap tips almost every season. You can buy the replacement tips at wal-mart. Just cut the rod so the end has a cleaner break (cut). If it's jagged it won't last as long. I use a hot glue gun. you can buy one at your local craft/hobby store. After I glue the tip on, I usually wrap some green fishing line around the the metal (on the tip) and the rod. Use clear fingernail polish to seal the fishing line. It's just added security on case you catch GOLIATH
    Caught so many fish today my thumb is sore from clicking the counter.

    yep, that is them. orange tip. I'm with you, I just ordered 2 new poles from grizzly jigs. I'm gonna fix the tip just to have em. The wife will fish for about 30 min tops and then read. They'll be just the ticket for her. Thanks for your offer.
