I have a  Skeet Reese W&M Microguide Heavy Cover flipping rod and the insert on the tip top has fallen and been lost. Is there anywhere i could find a replacement tip top? or a micro guide tip top? if so, how do i replace it?     thanks- Evan

And it's quite easy to do. I just replaced 2 tips using that same kit.

Make sure the replacement is the same height off the rod blank as the guide directly below it and that it's a snug fit to the blank before attaching.  To remove the old one, heat the base of it lightly with a lighter while holing the tip with a pair of needle nosed pliers. Just a second or so and you'll feel the glue break it's grip and you'll be able to pull it off. A couple of small slivers of the rod tip glue placed inside the replacement are all that is needed. Again holding the tip with a pair of pliers and the rod with the guides facing down, heat the shaft until the glue melts completely, place the tip over the blank and seat it, release pressure on the pliers and the weight of the tip will center it on the blank 

This is why you set the rod with the guides directly under the blank.  Allow to cool and you're done.
