Had a great rod of mine have a little problem: the end of the end cork is kinda cracked and about to come off with anymore use. Suggestions on how to fix this?

Location: Musky Tackle Online, MN		I had that happen on a rod of mine. Less than an inch from the end, completely busted off. A little super glue fixed the problem and 5 years later it's still as good as new.

Yes, it happened to me late this season, super glue held up the next time out. Glad to hear that it should hold up longer I was worroed myself.

Location: Waukesha, WI		I had the same problem, and I used Gorilla glue for the repair. It's held for two seasons now.
