What is the best glue to use when replacing a guide?
I was going to use 5 minute epoxy and was wondering if that would be fine or should I use something else.
PB Common = 36-8
PB Buffalo = 62-8
PB Mirror (fully scaled) 13-0
PB Flat Head Catfish = 44

Don't use epoxy you need to use a heat cement you heat it with a lighter or alcohol lamp and put t on that way. If you ever need to change it again you can

You can buy the little tip replacement kits at walmart, you may not want the POS tips it comes with but it will have the glue.

I ALSO add a piece of shrink wrap tubing with the heat glue. Then, when it is in place, I heat the shrink warp for a FIRM FIT that will NOT let go. If you use a different color than your rod, it is good to watch the tip of the rod for light bites as well. Looks a little odd, but works well. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.
