Was wondering if anyone knew where I could get top half tip ends for Shakespeare crappie hunter or Mr. Crappie slab shaker 10 ft rods. I have three rods with top halves broken that I'd like to get back in use if possible. Thanks for any help.

Bass Pro, Cabela's both have them in store or on line for starters.

Grizzly for sure, sorry about your loss!:hesaid
Yep Grizzly is the way to go. If you need the tips quickly I would recommend calling the order in. I ordered online a month ago and finally called after three weeks my package was sitting in the warehouse and they needed my 3 digit code on back of my debit card in order to process and ship the order. I called and got great service over the phone and had my replacement tips two days later. Was surprised to call and get a guy in the warehouse who walked around looking for my order while I was on the phone. Doubt you get that kind of personal service at Cabelas and I know you wouldn't at Bass Pro from my experience with them.
Sounds like a call to Grizzly is in order! Thanks everyone
For what its worth, I recently repaired 2 broken rod tips. Location of the break would no doubt affect the rod quality
after a repair. But assuming its not near the top it shouldn't matter much in my opinion. A dremel power tool is pretty much a
must in my opinion for truing up the ends of the break. But I took about 4" long pieces of the proper diameter from an old kids
solid glass mini rod. Used a cotton swab Q tip to coat the epoxy inside the rod ends and the repair piece and that was about it.
Took about an hour to fix 2 rods and you have to look hard to see the repair. In my case I don't think it affected the action of the rods
both of which were 10 footers.
Another FYI: I broke the tip on an off brand 10ft rod. I discovered the top from my B-M 10 ft fit it perfectly so I got a replacement BM tip for it. Lots of brands are similar in size.

Just a quick question. Were these breaks the result of someone stepping on the rod, shutting them in the car door or some other form of user error? Or did they break during usage? If it was the later, I would look into fishing with different rods
In my case it was carelesness on my part in both cases. I had forgotten I left a 10' rod in a verticle holder behind me
when I decided to run thru some trees. The other was that my grandson had applied too much force when opening up
a telescopic 10 footer. We couldn't fold it back up without really leaning on it which broke the rod. Fortunatly both were
in a location which allowed for an easy repair.
One broke on a pinch point in the boat. One lifting to big a fish into the boat. One was hung up and jerked at a bad angle. All user problems.
Grizzly Jig for sure!!!!
