Mercer007 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hi guys, Heading says it all. I have a broked guide on a rod and want to change it myself. Is it difficult to change, and what kind of gear, equipment do you need? Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austral Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Hi guys, Heading says it all. I have a broked guide on a rod and want to change it myself. Is it difficult to change, and what kind of gear, equipment do you need? Cheers Peter remove it with a razor blade or sharp knife by cutting of the epoxy and binding. take it to bcf or west gosford bait and tackle and find the right size. buy some similar color thread/binding and some 5 minute araldite. superglue the guide in the right position then rest the rod on a table,a small bit of super glue to keep the thread from spinning, wrap the guide tightly up and then back down,finishing with another bit of super glue. mix up your araldite,apply evenly where needed. thats the very basic way but it works. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of what Austral has said, I would get some thread filler before you put on the epoxy. And I would use the slower setting araldite, as the 5 minute one will give you a lumpy finish. Once you have put on the araldite with a flat haired brush, you will need to turn the rod so that it does not move to one side before it sets. So turn on the TV and rotate the rod for a good hour. PM me if you need any further info. cheers Autocad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
