Anyone have any suggestions on how to prevent rod tip inserts from coming out?
Seems its gettin costly buying new tip sections every year when the the ceramic inserts fall out.
Can the tip be coated with something that wont interfere easy line slide?
Don't use/replace with rod tips that have inserts ... get a nickel/titanium rod tip & ferrule cement or Fuji Hot Melt Glue stick, and replace those tips that lose their inserts. :twocentsQuote:

mudhole (dot com) would be a good place to start.
Better yet buy Ozark rods that have the solid titanium tip to start with. I was replacing tips on my rods very often till I switched to Ozarks. We have several guys on here that sell them . Conway and MEATGETTER sell Ozarks.
I like my ozark. I super glue the ceramic tip back in and they hold pretty good for me that way in my other rods
I have found that if you do not reel past a swivel your inserts rarely fall out I have been fishing for over 65 years and the only time I have ever had an tip insert fall out was when I reeled my line in pasy a swivel PatL
Thanks but I tie direct to the main line.My problem is poking the jig to get unhung and therefore popping or breaking out the eye insert.Quote:
