rod eye replacement

[mark(wilf) williams]

hi all, does anyone know if you can buy the round inserts that fit inside the eye of a rod ring? its probably easier to get a new eye fitted, but i dont want to remove the old one as its in mint condition. its the 2nd eye from the tip on my float rod. i use it without any problems (so far) but was worried it is putting extra stress on the line when under pressure. cheers ..

If it's a rod you like get it repaired.

Its a fair distance from you but Fosters do a fabulous job at a very reasonable price,but you need to get it sorted mate.Regards Peter.

I,d get the eye replaced by a professional it wont cost that much ask youre local tackle shop if they can do it.

oio i can vouch for fosters, i took mine there, a great guy i . think they call him rob the rod, takes 110 % pride in his work. you would never tell he replaced the top eye on mine ,

only prob doing it yourself is make sure you get the right colour whipping as when the dope goes on it will stand out a mile very easy little job m8

I lost the insert from my korum power float butt section and my local tackle shop(robbertsons) in dagenham essex just fitted a new insert. Cost me all of £1.50 not sure how it was done or if you can get the inserts for smaller eyes though.
