No2 Corbett steel centre rod tip ring
Hi guys I have one of these rods with a serial number H2311 which I think dates it at 1955? The rod has lined rings in what looks like white/cream agate? my problem is hat the tip ring shows several cracks in the agate and I worry that when fishing if I hook a large carp that the line might break.. does anyone know where I can get a replacement?... I am attending Redditch in May maybe be pick one up there? Any advice welcomed cheers

Re: No2 Corbett steel centre rod tip ring
Does the agate have cracks or are there grooves caused by the line! I've succesfully polished an agate lining of a tip ring that was heavily worn out. I think our fellow member Old Tackle might know some tricks to save the agate.
Could you upload a few pictures of the ring?
