Help with rod guide repair

[captpierre]

Noticed the first(biggest) travel spinning rod  guide ceramic insert has broken into several pieces and fell out . The guide itself is fine but the groove in which the ceramic ring sat in is sharp. 

Do I need to replace the whole guide or can I fill the groove with crazy glue or epoxy and sand smooth? I’m not looking for perfection. Just functional. 

What say you Gents?

Capt. I would get the guide replaced, just wouldn't trust anything else.

Just get the guide replaced. 

Won't cost you much.

Drop into Angling Specialties and they will get you out and fishing in no time.

Definitely get it replaced.
If you were closer to Hamilton I'd do it for you.

Heck if he were closer to Yellowknife I'd do it.  ??

I wouldn't take the chance, just replace the whole guide! Not expensive, go see the boys at Angling Specialties!
