How to Replace a Fishing Rod Guide

Check out how I like to fix broken off guides on fishing rods. In this particular case I tackle a salt water wire line fishing rod that has a busted guide. This method of replacement can be applied to any guid that needs fixing. Stripped, replaced, and refinished to brand new, ready to be fished again. There is not much info on how to fix a broken fishing rod guide and some think it is harder to do than it really is!

Great video ! I would not complain at all if I had your equipment to repair the rod. You look like you know what your doing.

[@andrewbobro6094]

Great video. Really made sense, and easy to follow.

[@stevenventer3307]

Great looking work, it's like art work

[@miampire]

LFG!!! He’s back

[@vallancefamily]

Very helpful. Never used heat in the epoxy process

[@Mancavedweller1]

Thanks very much, great video. Had me captivated.

[@SonNguyen-vi3sm]

Can you do a rod tip replacement?

[@IFeelfishy]

[@kensleylin]

No fking way! You back!

[@jaspercoutu489]

Hide yo kids! I’m brewing up vids 🥸

[@jisake1]

Great training video! Thanks, needing to repair my antique 52 year old rod for my grandson. Also you mentions air bubble surfacing on the finish. I believe that is the epoxy gassing off in curing. The only thing I am curious what other epoxy’s you have tried?

[@sonlighte8500]

What type of epoxy do you use ❓ I was impressed by your patience and method. Your an artist at your work

[@joshuasmith7029]

Super handy video. How would you recommend someone get into building their own rods?

[@marygausen2899]

Great video. What kind of epoxy do you recommend?

[@bobbydenezza7795]

What type of machine is that you used to thread that guide on?

[@JamesLee-tt9oe]

Have you ever used a low temp solder to resolder your old guid to be reused if you don't have one to replace it with?

[@jaspercoutu489]

I’ve seen it done and guys use like jb weld but idk I’d rather just redo

[@josiesandoval1671]

Hey did you ever end up making those rods that you were going to sell ??

[@jaspercoutu489]

I haven’t done a production rod as everything I kept ordering wasn’t up to spec and then Covid….. but I do make custom rods now. Just about every rod i fish is a custom. If you want me to make you one hit DM me on instagram and we can brainstorm!

[@WhatTheH3ll1000]

What is the best epoxy for the guides?

[@jaspercoutu489]

I use flexcoat

[@ysoutdoorgaming3367]

[@jaspercoutu489]

Yes. Sir. 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@davidallen4552]
