loose pole guides

[grt1]

over the past week I have discovered that 3 of my good graphite poles have developed loose guides. I am hoping the members here would have some idea on how I can fix them without sending them out to a person who repairs them professionally.

 

I was thinking about using the glue that is put out to put the end guides on .

 

any suggestion would help

[Mister G]

Please do not glue them, you will only make a mess and it probably will not work. You need to re-wrap them. Either have someone do it or just YouTube it and you will see how easy it really is.

Not to hijack the thread,

Can any one recommend a person or place around GTA where I can have the guides "re-wraped" on one of my spinning rods ?

[Raf]

angling specialties will redo guides. three locations in the gta, the rod work all goes to the one on hwy 7.

[grt1]

ok we got southern Ontario covered , how about the northwest , any guys up this way know anyone who can re wrap my rods.

[Spiel]

Too bad you weren't closer Sir I could fix it up for you quickly.

 

I would ask are these expensive rods?

[grt1]

they aren't really expensive rods, maybe around 100 bucks, definitely not in the price range of the top of the line rods that are available but I like them and would hate to throw them away because the guides are loose and twisting around.

I wouldn't call it expensive, I bought it used from a member here, it is a custom rod, MHX blank with a st croix handle, I really like the action but the workmanship on all the guides is terrible.

Like grt1, I hate to throw it away.
