Replacement Tip for Heddon Pal Wormer #6277 Casting Rod
Question
I have a Heddon Pal Wormer casting rod #6277 5-1/2 that needs a new tip. It is unusual in that the guide ring is not supported by an outer ring.
Can you provide leads to people who might have an identical replacement tip?
-thanks!

Is this rod round or flat sided. I can build you a tip if bamboo.
send me a picture of "guide ring is not supported by an outer ring."1, I am unsure and curious macsrods@yahoo.com
If round then your rod is fiberglass.
I am a bamboo man not fiberglass. Fiberglass is just not collected like bamboo. It was made from the 1950s to the 70s.
And spin / cast rods aren't collected like fly rods so low resale values.
I have no specific history or books on fiberglass, I believe they don't exist, but here's two web sites that on fiberglass:
