I have a rod or two that has some eyes damaged when I moved. What are some good places to take them for repair? (Tulsa area preferably, but do travel to OKC for work)

They are not terribly expensive rods, but one is my favorite and don’t feel like replacing it at this point.

If you just want it back in service working as good as it did you can rob an eye off another rod.
I find busted rods often at the lake or river and take them home and save the eyes.
Just regular sewing thread will work and then tie a couple 1/2 hitches in it when you get it wrapped and paint
over the thread with super glue or fingernail polish.
You can super blue the eye to the rod before the thread to hold it in place.

In my tackle box for many years I had dark purple fingernail polish and sewing thread.

If you don't have a broken rod to steal from, Academy, Bass Pro, Cabelas, etc sell packets of eyes.

Not hard to replace, as long as you arent looking for a perfect match.
Or replace all of the eyes.

A good rod, that I really like; find an eye close to size and mount it. I don't caré.
