That's what I was thinking about doing to, got to find some eyes that are braced on either side or they will just break again unless I change my ways.Originally Posted by scrat
I replaced a eye on a rod last night . I just super glued the eye in place to hold it while I then took dental floss( I use to use this a lot when working on bowstrings and it is very strong and last pretty good also) and wrapped it back and forth several wraps. Then I used a black marker to color the white floss. After that I glued everything down heavily with super glue. Looked pretty good so I will see how time will tell on doing it this way.

That's how you learn. I keep any broken rod just for the guides and that's a good way to practice wrapping. Try to remind me and I'll bring you some wrapping thread.

Bought some of these from China. They are cheap so if I just use one it was worth buying the whole sets. Just takes a little longer to come from China so I bought 4 sets which was probably cheaper than the stores $1.13 and free shipping. No doubt they are the same thing that is sold in most stores also.
