I have a penn offshore spinning rod that needs the end eye replaced. Anyone have someone they use for this? Id like to get it replaced by the end of the week. I know how to do but im pretty sure no one in town carries an end eye big enough (including kevins) unless something has changed.

Thanks

Check with Rivers bait and tackle

I was just at acadamy sports and they have some huge rod tips, I'd be surprised if you couldn't find one big enough there

Speaking of rod repair, I got the most expensive rod I've ever owned as a birthday present, with the thought that if anything happened, it could be returned to Kevin's for an immediate replacement (Clarus - lifetime warranty). Much to my surprise, policies have changed, and I had to return it to Shimano after a ladyfish broke off the top 5 inches first time out. Shimano said they were on backorder, and I'd be waiting until mid-June. Yesterday, a replacement arrived, a Teramar, with a note saying Clarus is being discontinued. Seems reasonable, maybe even a little upgrade.

Good deal for you. Teramar are great rods with a composite blank (graphite/glass fusion) so they're both sensitive and durable. Enjoy!

Thanks Capt. Dave.

Looked for you at the CCA banquet, but missed again.

Was at the Redtrout meeting instead. I'm a CCA Life Member and I don't have any wall space left for prints, anyway. Have almost (but never enough) tackle too. And I get paid to go on fishing trips to faraway places.

Sorry for the derail, hookedonred. The Academy selection sounds like it might work. A little epoxy on a new tip and you'll be back in business.

Took it to rivers, had it replaced in literally 5 mins, good call and would definitely recommend him.

Thanks
