Anyone fix rod eyes (not including the tip)?

I busted the ceramic out of an eye on a Mojo Bass rod over the weekend.  Anyone ever fix one of these?  The metal frame still appears to be good.

I have had it happen and sent it in with Ernie to his rod guy to get it fixed. Not sure if there is anything you can do to just replace the ceramic but Ernies guy replaced 4 guides for $25 and I could not tell which ones he replaced. The guy is good.

Dan Grulke (musky13@yahoo.com) lives in Fairfax but works at Lake Fairfax in Reston. You can contact him for drop off. He is GOOD!

The guy (Phil) that Tyler refers to is in Arlington and I used to swing by his place to drop off and pick up stuff on my way to and from work. But I don't commute anymore so I am rarely by there. His shop is Rod and Reel Repair in the Cherrydale part of Arlington.

Yes....email Danny and he can do it for you. He's a rod builder.
