I have recently lost the tip off of a Band M ultralight trying to punch a jig loose. It didnt break the tip but it came off. Does anyone know what size eye I need to replace it? thanks

Not sure what size it is but I do know that jigs are cheaper than rod tips and that is a good way to break one. Ask me how I know.
Not sure what size it is but i could not find it at the store. Ended up ordering a new section from b n m.Quote:

Bass Pro and most sporting good stores sell a rod tip kitQuote:

Been there & done that. Had a BnM Ultimate for years and broke the tip doing the same thing last year. Got a replacement rod tip from Grizzly jig. Couldn't stand the thought of not having that rod in the boat. I've caught 100's of fish with that rod. It has sentimental value.
I have gotten them at walmartQuote:

Hey Homer if you are in the Lafayette area. You can go to the Exxon in downtown Broussard. They have individual tips and a size gauge. You would need to bring the top of the rod to size what you need. If you still have the tip you could just reglue it. They also have the glue. I have done three of my rods this year.
