How to fix a rod tip or rod eyelet ???

[Mojo]

OK - So January is the time to return your broke rods, and fix those that need it. I have NEVER replaced a ceramic eye, or replaced the metal tip or replaced an entire metal eyelet somewhere up the rod. I have all three of these issues. Anyone have good step by step experience to fix rod eyelets ?

Thanks -

1. buy beer
2. drive to my house before opening the beer
3. don't forget your rods
4. we will have to order the sizes and type of tips/guides you will need if i don't have one at my house
5. we or i (if you want to leave the beer and rods with me) will remove the old stuff and wrap on the new stuff
6. beer run
7. race slot cars
8. i forgot what 8 was
9. watch resin dry
10. wait until spring and go fishing with the fixed rods

I'm on the same program as bob o:

But substitute CC & coke.

Really, what neighborhood you in?  Easier to fix them for you than explain.  Happy to do it for cost of parts.

Two trip deal.  First to drop them off to see what guides & thread are needed, second to pick them up when done.

Let us know, I'm in Garden City.
