Recently discovered that my rod tip line guide insert is missing on my prevail surf rod. I've searched online with no luck for a replacement any ideas?
Excellent advice here. For this reason I'd do it myself and not let a tackle shop touch it.Just don't use hot melt glue.
Use a 5 or 15 minute epoxy. It can still be heated up and taken off but it's not as low heat melt as hot melt glue and it will hold much better.
I also agree with this. The hot melt glue is real easy but it doesn't bond as well and the tip will rotate off center if stored with torque on it, especially if you store in a hot car or trunk.Just don't use hot melt glue.

You still need to heat it, most factory rods will use some type of 5 minute epoxy for tips. I wouldn't dare attempt to remove a tip from a rod with just pliers unless it was placed on with some really weak adhesive.Or just a pair of pliers and you don't have to worry about shooting a flaming tip at anyone. Lol which ever suits you better
Yeah well I meant the pliers to hold the tip while heating instead of loading it in a rubberband. HahYou still need to heat it, most factory rods will use some type of 5 minute epoxy for tips.
