Default Help needed

Ive put a add in the wanted for a tip for a cortland endurance 10ft 3wt tip but nothing has come up as yet so i wanted to ask if there is anyone out there that could make me a new tip for a reasonable price. If needed i will send them the broken parts. It don't haft to be perfect and i don't care what colour it is as long as it works.
I would buy a new rod but at the moment im putting a new roof on the house and every penny is going into that

Thanks

Terry

Hi Terry,have you tried contacting Cortlands main uk distrubuter,Cortland rods are supposed to have lifetime warranty,you may have to send £25 but worth a go,try here they are really good to deal with,

'Masterline - Home To All The Number One Brands'

Good luck, Paul

Hi Paul. I rang them up and they have stopped importing the 10ft 3wt endurance's in and they haven't got any stock or parts for them anymore Just my luck

I'm half tempted to cut a old tip down to the size and try that.

Thanks paul

Nothing to loose Terry by trying what you say,but i would also contact Cortland direct in America and see what they have to say,

Hi FS, sorry to come in on your thread but I've seen some of the Cortland 10' 3 weights advertised at £49'ish. Are they soft actioned rods or fast like their Brook and Big Sky rods ? Anyway, hope you find what you are looking for

Hi Terry,

Try Foxons in north wales, they may make you a new tip, they also sell some nice used rods. Type Foxons tackle in to google.

Hope you get sorted
