twili-tip

[Jack]

Hi!

Getting ready to put a twili-tip on a Daiwa Heartland rod. If anyone has done this, do I cut the rod tip off or will it come off with heat? Thanks for any info!!

Try the heat first, if that don't work cut it.

Heat up the rod tip over the element on an electric stove, grip the tip guide w/ a pair of needle nose pliers thru the guide end and twist gently. Should come off fine if you have it heated up enough- be careful not to burn it.(Musky; don't follow these instructions for your own equipment!)

Better get the OK from the Mrs. first, if it is anthing like here!!

Even a lighter works I just did a couple, doesn't require to much heat, like the others said just don't burn it.

Well I used a heat gun to remove the tip and what was under the tip was pretty nasty . Looks like Daiwa grinds the rod before they glue the tip on . So I cut the nasty off and glued my new tips on. They came out nice . I guess sometimes shorter is better.

is this a rube goldberg thread or what?! an ordinary butane lighter will get it done for you jack. or take it to the nuke plant, lots of heat there.
