I have lost the cermaic out of two of my guides wanting to redo them is this any easy job, or should i have it done somewhere. What kind of glue do i put on the thread.Is there a certain way to roll the thread on? Thanks for any help!

cheap and easy to get it fixed

10 bucks or so a piece.

Have a professional do it.

Barlows can rebuild rods.

I would replace. I have tried to reset some and glue and it is hard to get them to stay and to not cause problems.

Barlow no longer fix's or rebuilds rods. The man who did them died --he was the one who taught me to rebuild and repair rods.. If you need that done--I can do it for you--my charge is 10 dollars per eye all inclusive.--Pm me.

You can do it yourself. The hard part is turning it while the glue sets up. This is unless you want to invest some money in equipment. If you real worried about looks than have someone else do it. I bought the glue, threads, and instructions at Barlows.

If you want to learn to replace the guides, go to Mudhole.com and look around. They have some videos that show how to wrap the guides and apply the epoxy finish. They sell all the stuff you will need.
