Hey ya'll,

 

Had an unexpected detachment of a rod guide recently. It broke off. Can get pictures soon if needed. The rod is a Fenwick Elite Tech Casting. The missing guide is not the tip, it is somewhere in the middle. An old timer told me that I can replace the guide, he said that the guide is a Fuji guide and that I can use silicon glue after inserting it back in to seal the guide. What I'm wondering is if I can find the specific guide I need or if I need to purchase an entire kit of guides. This would really help me out ya'll. Any other recommendations extremely welcome.

You can absolutely replace a broken guide. It is a bit more complicated than just "gluing" a new one on if you want it done right.

 

I suggest looking for a local rod builder or repair service, the cost for them to replace a single guide will almost certainly be less than your cost to order the components and materials needed (as long as shipping the rod out isn't necessary).

 

Hit up YouTube if you are wanting to explore doing it yourself.
