Hi again lonehunter,
The reason I suggested the superglue is because I had a rod like his in Japan. It's what we call an 'in-line' system rod in Japan and Korea and the leader was not made of that stiff of material and the ends of the leader guide piece (only pulls the line thru the rod)could get caught on both the inside of the entry point (near the handle) and the exit point at the tip top. It was a real pain in the neck if you screwed up, especially in the dark!!! Especially if the rod goes out in telescopic sections!
I'm with you, replace that line threader (leader) thingy with some stiffer material that won't scar the inside of the rod or fittings.
It's so cool when everyone's got something to contribute.
