 So I managed to upstick my Rockfish H2O, see if I can make use of the rod by putting a new rayon. The difficulty is finding one that actually fits. I did find an old quiver tip rod. To take off a tip it's really easy to put a lighter to it but on these nylon tips you've got to be careful you don't burn them. A bit of flame underneath, pliers and pull. Don't put a lot of flame down on nylon tips as they will catch fire and you'll end up, the hole will end up being blocked. I don't have any resin so I'm going to use super glue. If you want to avoid upsticking your rod always make sure the line is pulling at an angle. If you start pulling back on a rod tip at these sorts of angles you're asking to snap the rod tip.
