the plastic insert on the tip of my rod fell out and is fraying my line. i can buy a new fuji tip at walmart but does anybody know if i can just take the plastic insert out and put it on my existing tip?

don't think it is plastic. i think they are ceramic. get another one the same size and hot glue it back in.
