Rod repair

Post by Chucksrage » Thu Aug 09, 2012 11:47 am

I need to my my lamiglas rod repaired, I got bought it online and have no proof of pruchase to get it fixed under warranty. The reapir is pretty simple and I could do it but I want the correct parts used and not soemthing I picked up that just works.

I have a 1306-t, the eye at the end of the rod lost the plastic circle thing inside of it, I bought the eye set you can get from sportco but it just doesnt line up right when on the rod, its about 2X the size of the original.

Anyone know where I can get this fixed?

Thanks,

You can do a non-warranty repair via Lamiglass. I've had to do this twice now after snapping the tips off of two of my X10MLC's last winter ](*,)

For each, the cost for me was the price I paid to mail the rod to them (around $10 in a PVC tube via USPS) and then $68 to them to fix it and mail it back. Both were returned to me in 2-4 weeks.

With mine I snapped like the 1st 2" off, so they had me mail both pieces, then made a new top 1/2 to match the bottom. Heck of a lot better than doing it myself or buying new rods :cheers:

I would recomment calling them and asking about your specific situation. From the sounds of it, it would be a pretty easy fix for them.

Sounds like the rod is not broken, just the eye needs replaced. Take it to gregs in lake stevens and I bet he can take care of it for a fair price.
