Almost forgot to come back to this thread and tell you I was only charged $3 to replace my cracked tip-top guide at Sav-On. The only bad thing is the guide is pretty small, probably a micro, and so I'm gonna have to swap it out. Next time I'll just do it myself, haha! Craftsmanship was fine and the price was plenty fair.

Thanks Dave! I'm still going back and forth between ordering a guide and doing it myself or stopping by Sav-on-tackle. Was your replaced tip Fuji?

No idea. For the price probably not, but I have a trip to San Simeon approaching in a few days so I just needed a functional rod. I'll swap it out just as soon as I return home. Replacing a rod tip is often times as simple as hitting it with a lighter to heat the glue, removing, gluing, and replacing. Typically the wrap is decorative and starts after the tube of the tip.

I hear ya'. I've had old rods replaced with ceramic ones or the generic berkely tips that broke on me shortly after replacing so I'm not sure if I want to take chances.
