Source for rod tips for repair?

Featured Replies

I broke a rod tip on a fast action Shimano Clarus spinning rod. The replacement rod tips in the repair kit from my local store are too big. The smallest was 6/64 but that was too big. Know of a place I can order specific size smaller tips? 

 

I measured the rod tip and it is 0.079”

I think size 5 is what you need.

Call Shimano, they will probably send you the perfect one for free.

They did not offer to send me a tip. Instead they offered a replacement rod for 50% off. I think I really just want to find a tip but it’s good to know I could replace the rod if had a worse break. 

Call your tackle dealer and see if they do repairs. My local mom and pop does repair for $5 labor. The tips are normally $1.50 to $3 depending on size and brand. They would have a few tackle boxes filled with tips. If the breakage is more than a few inches, consider getting a new rod as the repair would change the action of the rod.
