FIXING A BROKEN FISHING ROD GUIDE

- Replacing broken fishing guides is a common problem most anglers will face at some point or another. This video is a quick guide to replacing them at home using some basic equipment. If you have never tackled a guide replacement before, I would say practice on a rod that you don’t care about, just to gain a bit of confidence and see if you can pull it off. If you have a good quality rod to repair or something with a bit of sentimental value then it may be worth contacting a professional rod builder and let them do their magic. Things on the internet generally look easier than they should.
The hardest part of the whole gig is finding a matching guide especially if you have never bought guides. The easiest way to do this is to head down to the fishing tackle shop with your rod and see what they have in stock. You can physically compare guides and maybe get a bit of help from the staff. Another great option is to take some good close up photos with you phone or camera, measure some dimensions and post to an online fishing forum or facebook group. They generally have rod repair or custom rod building groups and often people are more than happy to help. Finally if you are feeling brave buy a selection box set of guides online and see if one fits, that's what I did and struck lucky.
For thread I used a black D grade nylon rod whipping thread, you may be able to pick this up at the tackle shop or cheaply online.
I used a two part rod finishing epoxy that has a working time of about 40 minutes, and cures in about a day. Small preloaded syringes rather than large bottles can also be found online or in good tackle shops.
I used some homemade rod rests cut from some 3” x 1” softwood to make working on the rod easier. You can tie and resin rods just in your hands, but it is far easier to have some kind of rest.
The second and third coats of resin do need to be rotated so the resin doesn’t sag and pool on one side of the rod. This again can be done by rotating the rod by hand every couple of minutes but it is going to take a few hours before the resin thickens up enough to stop running. You can buy rotating rod racks online but again I made one from a microwave motor I bought online and used a bit of tube to attach it to the rod.
For sanding between coats I used 600 grit wet and dry paper and to cover things up, masking tape.
Have fun
I've been fixing my own rings for over forty years and I remembered that it took a few goes to get it just right. This is the first video that shows the process, it in its simplicity and entirety. All key areas were shown and performed correctly. Excellent video.
Where do you live
I need to fixing fishing rings please

Hey, quick question what type of string do you use? I’ve been collecting old Broken rods rods from garage sales are worth some decent money so I was thinking about repairing them and selling them forward. Thanks for the video.
@@Crush0819just use braided line
wow! the ingenuity and simple things that are used (i am blown away by the use of coke can bottom to mix super glue!!) and interesting cuts in the videos (thread roll sliding), superb. you have a knack!
I built a few rods 40 odd years ago and the satifaction of making them, then catching fish on them is immeasurable. Always a pleasure to see your take on these jobs. I used dope to tighten the whippings then 2 or 3 coats of poly varnish to finish off. Don't be a stranger, always room for a handmade fishermans video :-)
thanks
@@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman yeah one time I got a stick and put a string and hook on it,caught a fish. Felt awesome!
brilliant video but my problem is the inner plastic of the ring needs replacing, is this possible ?
Best notification of the day. Pleased to see you back !
Same here
Їїї
ABSOLUTELY!
This video was one of the most satisfying videos I’ve seen in a while. A true professional. Thanks for sharing!!
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ruclips.net/user/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
Wow this brought back memories. When I was a kid. My dad owning his own fishing store which he named Willey & son's. I used to build custom graphite rods in the back like this. People would pick out their own colors. Eyelets. Length and so on. Now that I'm 37 and just got back in to fishing because I have kids of my own now. I wish I had all the stuff I did back then 😆
I replaced the guide on my rod after watch one of your old video..
First time and really happy with the result. Thanks
Great to hear!
For years i saw you making a lure. I was so impressed and started to do it either! So happy to see an new video
Love the content as always. Turned me into a lure builder. The quality of your filming is amazing
Q
Been doing this over 35 years, I have 2 say I love the can for epoxy NICE!
if only it was my idea, but an old guy work showed me that one, he has been making rods probably a little longer than both of us
Im very familiar with fishing rods repairs but thoroughly enjoyed this from the production value alone. Keep it up! Love seeing you back!
Gentle and relaxing as always. And of course very informative 😉
Thank you, Paul!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just found your channel. The music and detail driven repair was amazing. Worth the subscription. Thank you for the content.
Right when I need to fix mine this video pops up!! Thank you ! Seems simple but it sure will be a lot of work and practice to get it right! Looking forward to explore more of your vids
Wow, here is a blast from the past. Hope you are well. Please make more videos, they are always a great watch.
Thank you, I will
Excellent well done DIY video
Never in 50+ years of fishing (knock on wood) have I even moderately damaged an eye guide.
But I have broken off more than a few rod tips and broken rods in half.
I do not buy cheap rods so I fix them if at all humanly possible
On a broken rod if the brake is at area the ID is big enough I will first snad down the broken haves ends till they are perfectly flat then I will LIGHTLY epoxy in place a solid section of high modulus graphite on the inside to splice the ends back together taking care to have the ends touching and a graphite sleeve over both haves on the outside of the rod lightly epoxied in place
I also try to buy rods with a great warranty but I will not discard a $100-$200 fishing rod unless I have zero choice
I have had several titanium eye guide inserts come out but thankfully all have been in the guide on the rod tip so I just heat up removed the tip eye guide and glue a new one in place
Right lads Get him. We can't let him escape again. 😉
Welcome back buddy 👍🏻
Top notch repair and impeccable filming what a pro!
Useful info thanks. I like the idea of using the inverted can to mix your Resin! 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Vids like these thought me how to repair my own guides. Well done..
This morning I was getting my gear together for a upcoming trip. I noticed a broken eye. Found this video and ultimately replaced the broken eye. Thx!!
that is the best kind reaction, so many things i have fixed things thanks to a RUclips video, washing machines, computers and thousand and one other Things, thank you you have made a very difficult day a end on a happy note
I’ve long awaited this day 😂 Welcome back good sir 👍🏼
too loong beetweeen videos, i will have to pull my finger out, cheers
Thanks for the video！Just struggling about that round of epoxy bulk's cleaning when i replace a guide.This video demonstrate how rod builders replace the guide without too much epoxy cleaning.Again, thanks a lot,really clear the doubt in my mind!🥰
This is a great video and you can tell the creator has a very keen eye for artistic work..even the editing
Шикарная работа! Понял что смогу сделать так же, стал в голове прокручивать всё поэтапно и поймал себя на мысли, что поставил кольцо задом наперёд и при этом закончил работу 😅
Don’t ever stop making videos.
Thank you for providing an informative video. pleased to meet you.

In a world where milenials identifies as a toaster oven.....There are still people like this man that works with his hands and creates magic!!!!!!!!!
And thats exactly the way I would have done that Job! Well Done Paul!
Someone sold a nice rod at a yard sale, I bought it, I didn’t notice one of the rings were broke, I finally got around to repairing it myself yesterday, my first time, I never used the epoxy brand I used before, man was it ever stink lol, I did the glue part outside but it was still very strong odour, anyways I will be casting today maybe. Thanks for the video.
Very nice!
So amazing thank you for sharing my friend watching from Philippines ♥️
Very informative tutorial. Thank you for the lesson. I will put it in practice. Informacion is confidence.
Excellente vidéo un professionnel sa ce voit de suite beaucoup de travail bravo chapeau ❤❤
Welcome Back, Paul
wow just wow. I always see broken rods at the fishing pier that i go. Now im going to hold on to them and learn to fix them for myself
i still find broken rods sometimes even in the local lake, i have a bit of collection
I do it a little different, but this should work.
very nice video about fishing gear and repair....I didn't know that its possible to repair that part. Well done. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You just got another subscriber, thanks for making this video, keep up the good work, from El Paso Texas.
thankyou and what a great place to live
Glad you’re back!
I like the upside-down beer can epoxy dish!
Cómo siempre, el mejor contenido de pesca, Saludos desde Guatemala.....
Magnificent work as always.
Nice job, mine don't look as good, need more practice. This vid helped.👍
Don't give up !!!!! I know you can do it!!!!!
Nice to se you again Paul!
Best TECHINIQ for repair to rod guide. 👍👍
Wow, thanks!
Comprehensive guide. Great job.
The video put me to sleep it was so relaxing 😌
😴
When fishing meets art.
New sub.
Hasil nya sangat memuaskan bos ku
Simplicity at its best. Tq
Brilliant !! I do the odd rod upgrade ring fix ... and blow me ! You did the same as me, I made a turner using an old microwave motor too ! Works a treat, just load up the thread and leave it rotating till dry..
looking forward to the next video.
Sangat bermanfaat akhirnya saya bisa bikin sendiri, kreatif,cerdas,hemat,bagus 👍👍🇲🇨
Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing. I'd just buy a new rod but I think I'll give this a try.
great video, maybe i can fix my rod after watching this video, and i can start making fishing content again once my rod is fixed
Good luck!
Very good!👍
I didn't have epoxy so i used crazy glue and baking soda instead, it don't look pretty but it worked out great.
Mix up JB weld, quickly place on eye, manipulate (not with a tool, rotate turn etc ) until it sets up. Viola glossy finish thats as smooth as porcelain
Amazing video all around! Thanks…
thanks
Thanks for this video. All I want to do is add a hook keeper on front of the grip/reel because the one on my pole is in a terrible location.
it is pretty much the same same principle, i will do a video on whipping keeping rings, cheers
Great video as always!
Excellent work 👍
Brilliant- thanks for such an informative video! Can’t wait to try this! ⚓️
Hope you enjoy it!
Сначала удивился,а почему до конца весь лак не убран....
Вроде всё нужно убирать 🤔,весь лак?Для меня это новое, впервые вижу так. А получилось просто класс👍 .
Отличная работа 👍.
И лака , нормально.
Вот ,что называется мастерством если каждый раз этим заниматься)))
hi I've only been whipping for about 2 months and I'm getting quite a dab hand although i don't claim to be an expert. whilst i have watched many videos to pick up extra tips etc i do find you can learn more from videos that go slower and the person making it is actually talking . maybe you would consider making one like this
i have done, check out my channel, thanks and good luck
Nice! Would you happen to know how to repair a broken rod tip? Mines snapped before the last two guides. Thanks
I've just done one. I did consider shortening the rod & putting a new tip ring on it but decided to go for a repair. I measured the diameter of the rod near the break, sourced some suitable Carbon Fibre tube from eBay with a 1mm wall thickness, and used epoxy to glue the two sections together inside the tube. Coat of paint & good as new!
I converted an old electric can opener into a rod turner/spinner, and old Dremmel foot pedal to run it, keep both hands on the rod job
The best way to remove the guide and wrap is to take a NEW razor blade and slide it flush to the blank after heating the wrap evenly with a torch on low. The epoxy wasn't hot enough or your razor wasn't fresh. Once you get the hang of it you can slice the base wrap and guide off in one slice, wipe with some acetone and you have a fresh blank surface with no other clean up required.
Great vid... no bulshit just straight instruction
mantap , makasih om sudah berbagi ilmu tetap semangat berkarya salam silaturahmi sukses selalu
Terima kasih telah menonton
Прекрасная работа,спасибо за видео.
А ме кажется что при срезании он повредил само удилище ( глубоковасто резанул) 🤷♂️
Thanks for sharing, nice info 🔥👍 from indonesia 🇮🇩
In my head I already bought a new combo in the first 15 seconds but thanks for the video
Good job 👍
Question
Couldn’t you just replace the broken eye sucked of the ring?
