Need Help!!!!

[Hardtime_NC]

I bought a custom made loomis from a guy a couple of years ago and I boroke abou 4 inches of the tip this weekend.  G loomis said they would replace the blank.  I need to get all the guides and the reel seat off my rod before I send it back.  I have NO IDEA how.  Can anyone help me???  

Thanks

you can cut the guides off but the seat and handle I do believe are gone.

cut them off with what?

Thanks

Cut the top of the thread wraps and epoxy with a single edge razor blade or xacto knife right on top of the guide feet. Heat the wraps with a blow dryer, one at a time until the epoxy releases and remove the guides. I would send the reel seat back with the blank and get a new reel seat. JMHO
