I recently chipped the SiC on my GLX BCR 854's tip. I was going to replace the tip myself since G.Loomis does not send anymore tips to their customers and rather have their investors (me) ship the whole rod in to get fixed itself, which would cost me about $25 and a 1-2 weeks waiting period. G.Loomis reps. also referred me to another dealer for parts in which i did not understand....had me thinking if i called the right number...I thought I had a G.Loomis rod thats why I called them...but was referred to some other dealer...I just found it really inconvenient. I was really disappointed in their customer service knowing that I paid for a high end rod and got treated very very very poorly.... I love my Loomis rods, but their customer service is horrible!!! Just had to vent...
I was wondering if anyone knew what size tip I need to replace the broken tip of my GLX BCR 854. Thank you.

Re: Tip Diameter Size
They wouldn't/couldn't even tell you what size tip was required?
I know I've helped a few guys with St. Croix's and St. Croix told them the exact model and size tip they needed to buy to do a replacement.
You need either a tip sizing tool or a caliper. Tips are measured in 64th's of an inch. So a size 5 is 5/64" in diameter.
