colint5 47 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 that should be an easy repair mate. just get a new top eye from any good tackle shop and glue it on, or ask the shop if they could do it. it shouldnt be dear for a 5 min fix. i wouldnt worry about losing 2 inches of the top either, , ive got a fly rod that broke near the tip and it hasnt affected the action.

neilnbeanie 10 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hello mate, aint Greys rods guaranteed for life, i'm pretty sure all you would need would be the cost of postage, If not. I snapped a small piece of one of my rods a couple of years back, and i took it to my local tackle shop, he looked through a tin of tip rings he had until he found the right size, then all i had to do was glue it on, worked a treat, never had any problems with it since, cost me hardly anything.
