Keep in mind that I am not technically inclined. Long story short, I have a new Suick this year that I got tuned this past weekend, and it was $$$. Then the unthinkable happened. I was casting into the wind, and got a backlash when a loop in the line caught around my thumb when my thumb slipped. The bait was violently stopped mid air, and came back with the screw eye loose (it turns about a 1/3). I couldn't retune the bait, and I'm thinking I have to mount a new screw eye.

Anyone have a parts list and some instructions/suggestions on how to do this?

Pull it out, coat the threads with a good epoxy and put it back in

That and maybe include a THIN sliver/shaving of wood to tighten it up a tad. Don't have to but I'd take a plane or sharp pocket knife to make a thin slice and stuff it in along with that epoxy.

Thanks guys. What I did was take your suggestion and did it with regular Gorilla Glue. Will check it after 24 hours.
