Rod Repair

The ceramic fill in the top eyelet has fallen out of my favourite fishing rod. Is this possible to repair and if so how. Had noticed that the line had begun to fray and upon closer inspection noticed that the top eyelet was missing the ceramic infill. Presume this would be the cause of the frayed line.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.

Just heat the old one up

Just heat the old one up little with a cigarette lighter and it should come off easily. Take it with you to the tackle shop get one to match. Then just glue the new one on with araldite. Don't over do the heat.

 

GO BLUES.
