Does any one know where I can get a rod for one piece tip. My source no longer stocks it, thanks.

the brown canvas phenolic?
prather has it
atlas has it
i've got a couple feet of it
i think both sell the black also
Be sure to get the canvas version...not the linen rod thats the same color/size. The linen rod is far from bulletproof.:wink:
Actually Kevin, my experience has been just the opposite.
I've seen many more canvas ferrules cracked/broken than I have linen.
Since the canvas is flat laminated, the crack is always along one of the thread lines.
Linen is rolled onto itself (think watch-spring) layer after layer after layer with no set pattern in any of the layers of the weave. There are no potential 'fault-lines' from the interior of the ferrule to the outside.
In any case, I'm sure both versions can be broken if one tries hard enough.
