Eyes
« on: October 25, 2009, 08:42:13 AM »
Does anyone have any quick-fixes for rod eyes?    ~0~

I have a broken eye on my light rod. Curious to see if anyone knows a good way to repair one, besides replaceing the eye itself?    `%$@

If the ceramic popped out, you could try crazy glue, but it's not really a fix. If it's not a real good rod, you can replace the eye with electrical tape, but I just wrap on a new eye. 
One only needs two tools in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop.

Just take it into the tackle shop and have them put a new one on.

If it is one of your go to rods its not worth screwing with.

Yeah, I get what you guys are saying.

I think I'll just take it up to Franks & have them fix it for me. I wouldn't imagine that it should cost too much.    ~8~
