I purchased the above blank from Mudhole and it was delivered with the top (tip) 2.25in broken off in the plastic packaging sleeve. Cudos to Mudhole , as they replaced it based on the photo I sent in. So I am now left with the broken tip blank at 7'6 and 3/4 to build. Any thoughts on how or if the performance may change?
Thanks, Rick Elrod Re: Bushido CB78/8-15

A bit slower action. A 1/2" broken off the tip is noticeable so 2" or more will be very noticeable. I am thinking new bait rod. Re: Bushido CB78/8-15

Article from library above. From my experience it can be repaired and the power and action will be essentially unaffected. The weight at the tip will be a little higher, so the frequency will go down, but I've never noticed either the weight gain or frequency change as a problem. Done right it should fulfill its original planned function very well. I agree that if you simply put a tiptop on the blank at the break, you probably will not like it. Re: Bushido CB78/8-15

On a shorter fast action blank 2.25 inches would be very noticeable but on a longer more moderate action like that CB 78 it will be noticed but not nearly as much. I think it would still make a very usable rod but maybe for a different application such as popping or punch bait on a treble hook for channel cats. Re: Bushido CB78/8-15

How much did the tip size increase? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
