The one thing that made me hesitant about JDM gear was/is my ability to tear things up! I'm in need of a tip end for both of my Tenyru rods; the Lunakia 6'3" light action and the Tenyru Rayz Alter rod. Is Chris Stewart the man for this? Thanks!

No you didn’t !
Two ? :yikes
OUCH !
Good luck finding replacements.
One of them has been broken for over a year and I just broke the Lunakia today. Sad state of affairs...Quote:

I would contact Digitaka or Plat to see if they have a replacement tip for them. Bad luck there. I broke the tip on my Major Craft XRide about a month ago and still haven’t found a good replacement.

Sorry to hear about all these lost friends. Hope y’all can find what you need.
How did your 63 Lunakia break?

I was throwing a Trout Magnet with my Major Craft Triple Cross and when I went back to cast, the jig apparently snagged my Lunakia rod. I keep my rods in a vertical rod holder when on the lake/boat. My casting motion snagged the Lunakia just right and took off the top four inches or so of the tip.Quote:

Too many close contact with too many trees to store vertically in my boat. Laying down fully supported is the best I can do. A little prayer helps too.
I’ve gotten a top section from Digitaka for a Lunakia model before, they still stock and sell the Lunas, they should be able to help out there.
JDM Tackle Heaven said it's still under warranty and they can have it fixed. I guess that's my path forward? I just hope they do a high quality job..Quote:

Most likely they just send it back with a new top section.
If replacing the tip is what’s to be done I might be able to get things done for you. I got a couple back in action for JungleJim and I’ll let him speak as to whether they’ve been worth the trouble. Moving a guide is different cuz they work with thread that’s super small and I’ve never seen before, maybe silk. Let me know, I’d be glad to help.
Let me talk a bit more to JDM Tackle Heaven and see what their offer is; I'm hoping it's a replacement top section since it's under warranty. If things go south, you may get the job! Thank you!Quote:
