Hello, I have searched about rod tip replacement and only find what I have done or am aware of. I have a nice vintage ultralight 5' rod that has the tip broken about halfway between the last two eyes. Someone put a far to large replacement tip that I will replace, the question is; Do I simply remove wrong size one and replace or should remove 2nd to last eye so it's not so close to end? About 2-3" to broken part, I don't have piece. Or should I cut more off so the steps of spacing remains consistent? I want it to work well since so short to begin with. Thanks
