Hi Squirrel,

This is info only. Had two eye's replaced on two rods today. The tip ring cost £3.50 on one and had another replaced midway. That one cost £5.50 (better quality).

Two rods back in service for nine quid. Cant be bad.

Although a local tackle shop did this for me (within two hours) I do know that a good store will sell you the nessasary stuff to do it, at that price why bother?

Hope this helps.

cheers for that, with the lack of tackle shops over here, i'll have to give it a go myself,

Sounds to me that you have found a niche in the market. It wont take long to get good at it mate.

I have made a rod from blanks and it is not hard - just need to take your time and it is a good thing to do in thoughs winter months

There is step-by-step guide on 'How to replace a ring' in September's Sea Angler. Price £2.60 and available in all good newsagents and some rubbish ones.
