Default Re: Need rod help

I'm pretty sure Tackle and Field (formerly Franks) in Wanaque does rod repair. I'm sure many other tackle shops do so as well.

Or do it yourself. I did it for the first time a few weeks ago. I watched a few YouTube videos on guide replacement and with that knowledge in hand, fixed one of my rods using nylon sewing thread and some flexible epoxy. I bought an assortment of guides of various sizes from Amazon (I think it was about $8). The set didn't have a guide that was a perfect fit so I used one that was sightly wider than it should be, but it does the job. If you want a perfect fit you may have to go to the mfr.

The repair took me LT 30 minutes (not including epoxy drying time).
