Quick take
A rod-repair kit with stainless steel guide ring replacements for fixing broken or damaged rod tips.
This kit holds six stainless steel replacement rod tips in graduated sizes, with tube openings from about 6 mm to 10 mm. It lets you fix a broken tip with a dab of adhesive instead of replacing the whole rod. Pick the size that matches your rod's tip end, then clean the break and glue the new tip on. The tips are light enough to keep in a tackle box for saltwater or freshwater trips.
