Whats the best way to repair a broken rod tip ?
It's broken about 5 inches from the tip. Should I use a graphite sleeve over the break or try to insert a sleeve under ? Thanks in advance Glen Re: Rod tip repair

Glen, go the the library link above and read the article by Ralph O'Quinn on rod repair. It will tell you everything you need to know to do the job right. For that type repair, assuming a clean snap and not a crush of several inches, you will want to do a fiberglass oversleeve. I've done the repairs as Ralph describes and they work great and last.
