Hi everyone
My first posting after years of lurking and as usual its a cry for help. I've lost the last 3" of the quiver on my JW qiuvertip. I've seen the video where Uncle John replaces his by sawing behind the splicing whip with a junior hacksaw but does anyone know where I can get a replacement glass blank? It seems to have a sharper taper than most of the plug in quivers so I don't think I can just strip the rings off a plug in as the solid glass tipfairs into the tip of the blank on the rod.
As an aside I went into a (very) well known Christchurch tackleshop yesterday to see if they could help. As you will see from my spec. I aminto mysecond wind while the guy behind the counter was inhis twenties, so I obviously didn't know what Iwas talking about. I explained that there was a video on You Tube (How street cred is that!) showing how its done, and wastreatedlike a care in the community case. I said I would put a post on FM and am hoping that someone can give me a steer so that I can walk back in with the repaired top and show the cocky s*d that he was talking out of his sphincter.Will I be buying any major items of tackle from there in the future?
