llPa1nll Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I was getting rods ready to ship down to South Carolina for a small fishing trip. I came across one of my older AllStar tube spinning rods had one of the ceramic inserts missing out of one of the guides. So my question to the rod builders is this. Is this repairable? What is the general process of getting this fixed? Thanks in advance for any help and insight on this. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted February 22, 2012 Super User Posted February 22, 2012 I'm not a rod builder but have had similar problems. You will have to have the guide replaced. If you have a fly shop around you they should be able to do it. Quote
Crookedneck Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 The guide and epoxy will have to be removed a new guide wrapped and epoxied. Depending on how busy the builder is can take any where from two days to a couple weeks. Process doesn't actually take too long. It is the curing of the epoxy that takes the longest. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted February 23, 2012 Super User Posted February 23, 2012 I've had them done in under an hour at the local fly shop. Quote
