Hi Guys,
I have been approached by several guys over the last couple of months looking for replacement tip sections for their GLX fly rods. For whatever reason they can't get them replaced. I was wondering if there was a source for these or in the most likely case there isn't, are there any blank manufacturers that may have similar tip sections available that can substitute. I'm sure I'm not the first to be approached. Regards, Ben Re: section for gloomis glx fly rods

Loomis no longer sells blanks and or sections. The chances of having someone else's blank match the taper may be remote, and you are unlikely to find a supplier of "tip sections." Re: section for gloomis glx fly rods

I had a 6 wt 4 piece tip section replaced on one of the first year rods just last month, don't know why they should have a problem. I think I heard a few rumors of problems some years ago on some of the 2 piece rods. Re: section for gloomis glx fly rods

North Fork won't have replacement sections for G. Loomis rods.
If these are factory rods, G. Loomis will either have replacement sections or will generally upgrade to the next closest model for some nominal charge. .................. Re: section for gloomis glx fly rods

The problems with replacement have been in Australia. One of the people who approached me is a g loomis dealer so I'm sure he has investigated the replacements. I'm not sure why we have been having this problem here. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
