Hi Guys,
Anyone have an idea as to the cost to get a new tip put on a rod? Buought a brand new 7' Pflueger Trion spin rod a week ago, just put a reel on it and threaded the braid thru, loaded the tip for the first time, and snapped 8 inches of tip off! Not happy must have been cracked in the first place.
Now need to get a new tip fitted. Is it worth it?
Cheers

Happens a lot if you overbend the tip. Having the rod vertical and pulling the end of the line will di it to a carbon rod with very little pressure. Charltons will put a new tip on it for you.

Thanks Basser,
No I put my rods in a angled holder on the bench for when I'm spooling reels, so the rod was being loaded properly. Any way have to go see the guys to get it fixed.

8 inches is a lot taken off, the boys at Charlton's will certainly put a new tip on it for you but the rod won't be the same and you may find yourself wanting a newy anyway :-\
