BGJP question

[spartannation]

I have two BGJP's 12-2 that I use for long line trolling jigs. The reel is filled with Suffix Hi Vis 6lb line. The last time I used one of the rods I could feel something weird when I would reel in my line to clean off weeds or land a fish. It felt like the line was wrapped around the tip, it reeled in harder than usual. I found that the mono line had cut a groove in the rod tip guide. I checked my second rod when I got home and that tip had a groove too, just not as bad. My question is has anyone else had this problem with these rods? I've emailed B&M and have heard back and they say mono line shouldn't do that to the guides. This explains some weird break offs I've had this summer. Anyways, that's it, just wondering if it has happened to other BGJP users.

I haven't had that problem that I knew of. I checked and don't have any grooves.

Just heard back again, I'm SOL. 6 years old and they won't warranty past 1 year.

I don't have any BGJP's, but my Capps/Coleman & PST 14' rods have braid (30#) and mono (20#) running thru the tips and there's no damage.
I'd say just replace the tips with one's with ceramic inserts and you should be good to go.

Buy two new top sections if you want to continue using their product.

All he needs to do is replace the tips. Cost will be less than $10 to replace both of them.

He’s not talking about the tip section. He’s talking about taking off the part with the eye on it and replacing that. You can get those cheap.

Yeah…tip tops as they’re called are pretty cheap. Curious how mono grooved any type of guide.

I'm with you on that, Alpha !! I thought those cheap, base metal tip days were decades behind us.
