    Question about rod tip

    I asked this on the Rods & Reels forum but thought perhaps it might be best answered here. I've got a 6'6" MH Rogue rod that the tip's broken on. It isn't much - maybe 3/4" to 1" - and I'm considering taking it to a local rod shop to just have the tip replaced. How much will the loss of just that much rod tip affect the action of the rod?

    Re: Question about rod tip (AveryF)

    Avery,

    If it is the mb664 that you were thinking about, not a lot in my opinion. That blank has a mod-fast action so it might make it just a little stiffer, but I don't think you would notice. I think you would be fine having a local guy stick a tip on it.

    Just my opinion though, I am not a builder. Just fished a bunch of Rogues.

    Re: Question about rod tip (swilliams)

    Thanks for the help, Steve. I had our local rod guy put on another tip and can't tell any difference at all. As it turned out, only about 1/2" was broken off so it wasn't any big deal.
