I have nearly every model of mojo rod made and on almost all of them at some point have had the eye insert pop out. I use anything from 10lb fluorocarbon to 65 lb braid and have had the same problem. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this or is having the same issue with these rods?

It's not the rod blank problem it's the guided they installed in them. I would assume a Fuji. I can't stand Fuji alconite guides. Because of this i swapped rods to micros and recoils only. Stupid inserts. And yes I know micros have inserts but they seem to be built better
I can backlash toilet paper.

Yes, I use the Legend Tournament rods and recently they switched the guides when they came out with the 2012 models. Customer demand is to build a lighter rod, so they use the Fuji alconite guides now. Alconite guides are lightweight and very smooth, but also break easily. If it is just a tip guide, you can order a replacement from St Croix's website. It comes with glue and directions and only cost $5 (free shipping). Takes less than 3 minutes to replace. Here is a link. Click on replacement tip guide. http://www.stcroixrods.com/shop/catalog/Rod_Repair_Parts-8-1.html#

Man it's a pain in the rear. I sent them back a couple months ago and they repaired all of them. Since then I have 4 rods with multiple inserts missing! I wish it were only the tips! The customer service said they don't have any issues with them falling out and said I must be rough on them. I use rod sox, have a rod storage system in my boat and don't reel my bait all the way to first eye so I feel as if that's not the case! I have several of the old premiere rods and haven't had any problems at all with them. Just thought I'd see if anyone else had the same problem since they said it was pretty much just me having the problem!

Reel Time Rods...no super glue needed! Sorry about the problems guys, you shouldn't have to spend your hard money on what you believe is a great rod, Then have there customer service try to blame you for the issue. Call Ron Grantham at Reel Time Rods, he will replace your guides for you or get you set up with a great rod. 903-450-6400

My dad bought 2 mojos and the first time out the tip insert fell out. When i picked the rod up to look at it the whole tip came off. Wasnt even a drop of glue on it. Thats why i use falcon rods
