What # size are the average crappie rod tips? Overall brand fit. Best place to buy a hand full?
Are you referring to the tip top guides or the entire rod tips? The TT guides are available just about everywhere. Grizzly Jig Co. has a wide variety of rod tips.
Yes the very end tip guide. I know they have a wide variety I need to know what # sizes to order. Let me put it this way: What size rod tip guide is on a B&M 12' jig pole? and what size rod tip guide would I need if I broke off 2 inches?Quote:

They have packs of three rod tip eyes at Walmart....3 sizes in each pack....one is sure to fit. I use JB Weld to put mine on with.

If it is only an inch or two broken off I have used a lighter to heat the glue in the old tip, pull the broken end of the rod out and reuse the tip on the rod. It was a little snug but slide on and was good to go
Wish I had done something like that with the one I broke. I just cut the rod down to the next guide and still use it like that....lol.
I save pieces of broken rods to repair other rods. I have one rod been spliced back together in two places...still works great. I trim the broke edges to get them smooth and in plumb...the take a slightly simpler dia. piece from a old rod and cut a piece about 2 in long...use JB weld on it and insert it 1 in the two pieces of the rod I am putting back together...butt together and wipe off excessive JB weld. Cant hardly tell it's been broken.
