So, I usually run my line through my rod before making my way down to the river. A few days ago I opted not to, and to my dismay, when I arrived at the riverbank, my rod was missing the tip.
I spent the next hour combing the five minute bushwack I'd just come down, but no dice. It's amazing how every little stick looks like a rod section in such a situation.
So... I figured I'd ask. Has anyone got a tip section off of an otherwise defunct 4-piece 5wt Fenwick HMX 9 foot rod? I'd be happy to take it off of your hands. Fenwick will probably pro-rate me a rod if I send my remaining three pieces back to them. Apparently they don't have individual spare sections and they destroy everything that is returned to them (seems absurd - I know). Ethically this seems wasteful, so I was hoping there might be a way to salvage what I've got, rather than sending it to the landfill at Pure Fishing Ontario and buying another rod.
Anyhoo, thought I'd check.
Tight lines folks.
