I contacted Orvis with no luck. The label on the edges on one of my tubes is cracked and peeling off. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?
Thanks

#2Why not just cover it with some shrink tubing?

#3The Orvis Rod Shop used to offer replacement green foil tube labels, but that ended quite awhile ago.

#4Shrink won't work. It's too messed up.
Flyman you are correct. That's what's they told me today.

#5Charlie Hisey had some blue and sliver foil labels made around 2010 or so. He had about 20 or 25 made. I got one of them for a rod of mine and then they were all gone. Orvis did not like the price it cost.

#6I just received a replacement tube with a silver and blue foil label for a tubeless 1950s Battenkill 8’ 3/2 I sent to the Orvis shop for repairs a couple months ago. That’s not period correct, but it suggests they either found another stash or made a new batch. Unfortunately the tube has a black crinkle finish that makes it hard to adhere. One corner is already peeling. Tube diameter is also much larger — probably intended for a 4-piece rod.
