FIXING A BROKEN FISHING ROD GUIDE
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 бер 2022
- Replacing broken fishing guides is a common problem most anglers will face at some point or another. This video is a quick guide to replacing them at home using some basic equipment. If you have never tackled a guide replacement before, I would say practice on a rod that you don’t care about, just to gain a bit of confidence and see if you can pull it off. If you have a good quality rod to repair or something with a bit of sentimental value then it may be worth contacting a professional rod builder and let them do their magic. Things on the internet generally look easier than they should.
The hardest part of the whole gig is finding a matching guide especially if you have never bought guides. The easiest way to do this is to head down to the fishing tackle shop with your rod and see what they have in stock. You can physically compare guides and maybe get a bit of help from the staff. Another great option is to take some good close up photos with you phone or camera, measure some dimensions and post to an online fishing forum or facebook group. They generally have rod repair or custom rod building groups and often people are more than happy to help. Finally if you are feeling brave buy a selection box set of guides online and see if one fits, that's what I did and struck lucky.
For thread I used a black D grade nylon rod whipping thread, you may be able to pick this up at the tackle shop or cheaply online.
I used a two part rod finishing epoxy that has a working time of about 40 minutes, and cures in about a day. Small preloaded syringes rather than large bottles can also be found online or in good tackle shops.
I used some homemade rod rests cut from some 3” x 1” softwood to make working on the rod easier. You can tie and resin rods just in your hands, but it is far easier to have some kind of rest.
The second and third coats of resin do need to be rotated so the resin doesn’t sag and pool on one side of the rod. This again can be done by rotating the rod by hand every couple of minutes but it is going to take a few hours before the resin thickens up enough to stop running. You can buy rotating rod racks online but again I made one from a microwave motor I bought online and used a bit of tube to attach it to the rod.
For sanding between coats I used 600 grit wet and dry paper and to cover things up, masking tape.

I've been fixing my own rings for over forty years and I remembered that it took a few goes to get it just right. This is the first video that shows the process, it in its simplicity and entirety. All key areas were shown and performed correctly. Excellent video.
Where do you live
I need to fixing fishing rings please

Hey, quick question what type of string do you use? I’ve been collecting old Broken rods rods from garage sales are worth some decent money so I was thinking about repairing them and selling them forward. Thanks for the video.
@@Crush0819just use braided line
Im very familiar with fishing rods repairs but thoroughly enjoyed this from the production value alone. Keep it up! Love seeing you back!
This video was one of the most satisfying videos I’ve seen in a while. A true professional. Thanks for sharing!!
For years i saw you making a lure. I was so impressed and started to do it either! So happy to see an new video
I built a few rods 40 odd years ago and the satifaction of making them, then catching fish on them is immeasurable. Always a pleasure to see your take on these jobs. I used dope to tighten the whippings then 2 or 3 coats of poly varnish to finish off. Don't be a stranger, always room for a handmade fishermans video :-)
thanks
@@PaulAdamsTheHandmadeFisherman yeah one time I got a stick and put a string and hook on it,caught a fish. Felt awesome!
I just found your channel. The music and detail driven repair was amazing. Worth the subscription. Thank you for the content.

Thank you, Paul!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I replaced the guide on my rod after watch one of your old video..
First time and really happy with the result. Thanks
Great to hear!
Right when I need to fix mine this video pops up!! Thank you ! Seems simple but it sure will be a lot of work and practice to get it right! Looking forward to explore more of your vids
Top notch repair and impeccable filming what a pro!
Wow this brought back memories. When I was a kid. My dad owning his own fishing store which he named Willey & son's. I used to build custom graphite rods in the back like this. People would pick out their own colors. Eyelets. Length and so on. Now that I'm 37 and just got back in to fishing because I have kids of my own now. I wish I had all the stuff I did back then 😆
Love this channel, have learned a ton and every video is highly enjoyable! Thank you for making them!
Sneaky return, always a pleasure to see you back again :)

Exceptional... reminds me of when i was a kid and taught myself to repair my own rods...

Very informative tutorial. Thank you for the lesson. I will put it in practice. Informacion is confidence.
Comprehensive guide. Great job.
And thats exactly the way I would have done that Job! Well Done Paul!
Been doing this over 35 years, I have 2 say I love the can for epoxy NICE!
if only it was my idea, but an old guy work showed me that one, he has been making rods probably a little longer than both of us
well done, great videography & and choice of music, it was kinda mesmerizing/relaxing.
I can't tell you how satisfying this video is....

Thanks for coming
great video on replacing a broken ring
Best TECHINIQ for repair to rod guide. 👍👍
Wow, thanks!
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
Mixing on the bottom of a can. Brilliant.👌😎
Você é o CARA.
Parabéns.
Ficou bacana!
Excellent work 👍
Simplicity at its best. Tq
Well hell this new grandpa is fixing his own poles from now on. Very nice work.
