I thought I’d get more than a month use out of it. :-/
It was totally my fault so can’t complain really. It’s such a fun fishing rod to use, it’ll take awhile for the sting to go away.
Does anyone sell just the top section?

Dang. That's a sad picture.
Digitaka can sell you one.

Ouch that hurts. Should be able to get a new top piece at Digitaka.
Thanks. I have an email out to them. Hopefully they have it.
I’m guessing it’ll be north of 2 bills.

It's a $190 lesson. Top section replacement ordered.
Jig got snagged on something on the bottom. Tried to get it back, which obviously was a huge mistake. Grabbed the line and gave it pull. Guess I didn't realize how much the rod was loaded up. Rookie mistake.
Yes, expensive lesson. The good news is you will have it back in action soon!
I could never have peace of mind knowing that one false move, and the house of cards could come tumbling down.
I knew what I was getting into when heading down this road. It was an accident, but not the end of the world. I will be way more careful moving forward.Quote:

After 45 years of fishing, I still haven't broken a rod. (Knock on wood.) I have some Loomis UL rods that are between 30 and 40 years old, and they're in great shape.Quote:

I wish I could say the same.I break them left and right, and get mad at myself even when I break the cheep ones.Quote:

Back in business. Top section of the Eradicator arrived today.
It took about a week from the time I ordered until it shipped, then another 4 or 5 days to arrive.

YAY! Expensive lesson but good that you were able to fix it.
