I need a new tip (old broke off a couple inches) on my Shimano Crucial CRC-70ML. How do I determine what size I need when I go to pick one up?

Just measure with a caliper? Do i need to include some adder to the size?

Also, I have never searched for replacements in a store. How do they advertise their sizes(i.e. standard, metric)?

Use caliper and measure in MM...or bring to the Midwest rod and reel shop in Prior Lake and we can size for you and sell you the tip or just put one on for a fee.

Thanks. Im up in Anoka so Prior Lake is quite a drive. Anyone know if Thorne Bros off of University be able to get me a tip? They are right next to my work.

Tiger, many bait stores carry a box of various tip tops as well. In your situation you can get it fixed before opener since time is on your side. I just offer that in case you or any readers are on the road and this happens. It is nice to know that a few minutes and couple bucks and you're back in biz by stopping to a bait shop.

With a rod shop, your going to get a close if not exact replacement so it "looks" good too.

If this rod is one of your favorites, ask whomever does it to use some 5 minute epoxy or rod bond as the adhesive. My experiences with the glue stick type fixes where you use a lighter, melt, apply, and attach the top have not the best. It solidifies just too quickly. You got to cut shavings and stuff into the top heat it up, melt it, heat the glue stick up and melt it agains the rod, keep them both soft, slide the top on, blah blah blah. Just my .02 worth but the glue stick can be a 3 alarm fire event of frustration...

I bounced back and forth here in thie reply- sorry. Watching the Wild as I type.

Good luck

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
