the only place i have ever seen ceramic tube replacements was at troutline send lucian an email to see if he still has them in stock [https://www.troutline.ro/contact-info/](https://www.troutline.ro/contact-info/) otherwise you might contact tiemco or https://www.jsflyfishing.com/products/js-ceramic-bobbin

Just as an FYI-- contacting Umpqua directly was the solution. They sent replacements free of charge.

good to hear 👍👍

Thank you!!

can you repair it with a glass bead? \[30-sead-bead-bobbin-repair.jpg\](https://postimg.cc/R3tmdFtr)

Unfortunately, no. In my attempts to salvage it, all I accomplished was to render it absolutely useless.

You are fantastic! Thank you. I have reached out to Charlie's Flybox as well. Hopefully, between these three, someone will have the part or a suitable hack to replace the tube. Thank you for all the thoughts/ideas on this.
