Hey yall, I have an AMerican Rodsmiths Apex titanium that had one of the inserts broken on it. The guide got stepped on a while back and I noticed the insert was cracked, and falling out. What is the best way to go about fixing this thing? Any help would be appreciated.

Going to have the get the guide replaced.
Take it to a good repair guy and you will never know its been damaged.
They will have to cut the wrapping off and re-wrap it with similar thread and finish it out with epoxy and clear cote.
If your get to the mid cities area, i would recommend Mike Hendrix. He works out of the Fun N Sun location in Hurst.
Also a great custom rod maker.

Nope the ceramic insert is typically a pressed fit into the guide. They don't sell the inserts themselves.
If you take it to the right guy, you won't know its been fixed.
And its an inexpensive fix, shouldn't cost much at all.

I fix rods, and have for over 10 years--if I can help you--PM me.
