Unless you don't like the rod, get one of those tip repair kits and repair it. I have used them a few times and they work fine. The tip might not match the other guides on the rod, but the fish don't seem to mind.

You might want to check some of the local fishing shops if you don't want to invest in the repair kits. I had my tip fixed for 2.50 in a local shop out of state. It didn't look hard to do, but for 2.50....I'd let them worry about it.

There are plenty of sizes of tips available from many of the repair shops out there. As was mentioned, sometimes the guides don't match the original equipment but will suffice.
If perhaps you have broken off more than six inches from your rod, it may be time to retire that one and seek companionship from a new one.[cool]

Depends, how much did you pay for the rod? Depending on the quality, if it is a cheap special then why not invest in a better rod?

]. Is it worth repairing or should I go buy a new pole? Also do those tip repair kits they sell work or are they crap?[/#808000]
] I would suggest as others, just slap on a new tip and call her bad, unless a whole bunch is broken off.
