Thanks Ben. They'll install the tip too?

[bandrus1]

They should be able to do it if u ask them all it requires is a lighter.. They they won't go talk to button down at sr sport shop and ask him... Its super quick and easy

Just melt the tip off... And glue the twilly guide on..

Button is the man

Do it yourself.

If you don't feel confident I'm in Mexico next weekend.

I'll show you how.

[Senor Snagger]

Maybe I'll give it a whirl. What wire line does everyone recommend? Dipsy Rod.

It takes one minute.

What do you guys use to secure the twilly tip to the rod?

[bandrus1]

It comes with the little kit if I remember right.. its like a glue stick you melt with a lighter and cover end of rod and the insert with then slide it on

The twilly kit will have like five insert sizes for you rod tip

Thanks Ben. Just ordered wire and tips from Atomik.

Ben- you think you are going to be able to fish this spring? I'm up mid-april if you want a seat going for brownies.

Read that topic over sr

At the moment I am layed up I had some ankle work done so iv been playing with all my gear while boat is in storage

Almost ever weekend in April I'm in class for the six pack to be able to do paid trips but late April and all may it is on and I'm def in

[Senor Snagger]

I'm up april 16-20. If you want a free seat for a day or 2 let me know. My fee is a ham sandwich and the ability to bust balls

Try the torpedo 19 strand also. practically kink resistant. 7 strand is also good.

[bandrus1]

I think I'm still in class till the weekend after.. We got the boat in the water and will have my boat to trailer around so either way we will meet up

Heat tip up with lighter...pull off with needle nose...gently scrap rest of glue/threads off with a razor blade...apply super glue...put new tip on. Super easy! 3-minutes per rod.

You really won't need wire diver set-ups in April. You can run a slide diver or dipsey off your mono set-ups.

[Senor Snagger]

Thanks Joe. Just getting set up for June/July.

if you use superglue you wont be getting it off so dont count on replacing it

Isn't the tip plastic so getting it off is out of the question anyway, unless maybe with a heat gun???

Mine usually break off, lol. Making shorter rods......

if you use rod building glu you just heat it up again and pull it off

[Salmo slayar]

I use a soldering iron to heat up the tip, cause when I did it I could not find any good instructions and I was a bit worried about putting fire to my precious rods . Just touch the original metal tip with the iron, and it will be hot enough to come off within seconds. The glue that was left over from the original tip was more than enough to secure the twilli tip.
