I'm just getting started repairing my rods, mostly just replacing broken or damaged guides. I have a couple of rods with broken micro guides so this video will be very helpful. Good video, thanks for sharing.
This is a brilliant idea! I really lucked out finding this. I have treated micros like regular-sized guides in the past, but suspect I will give your approach a try. I also loved the video on wrapping a guide without glue/clamps/tape.
Very helpful as I was filing off the arrows on the sides. Another question. Do you have a video where you have two or three colors when winging on a guide? How to transition from one color to the next instead of three independent sections shoved tight to one another. Thanks again for sharing.

Good morning.Another great video as always.I always refer to as the great inventor or the experimenter.Have you ever done any tiger wraps with varigated threads if not i going to try it.Have a safe and great day. Paul.
Can you make a video about the fishing reel Linnhue hb2000 ? I would like to exchange all bushings for bearings... If you make a video teaching how to open and exchange it will help me a lot and also help other people who want to upgrade a similar reel. I thank you already, great video.
I try, and try………I finally found it easier to wrap the micro guide the opposite way. I start up top, and work towards the tip. I’m able to control the guide, the thread, and the finished product. I find it so difficult to start climbing the guide…..forget about filing it down. I use B thread, and it’s just too little………the opposite way works so much better. Do you see any issues going about it this way! Thanks! alex
@@TheFishingHobby Thanks! It’s my first rod, and I’ve cut the guides back off three times being overall unhappy with them. This way going the opposite way has solved all my issues I found. To clarify, when I say I’m working towards the tip, I mean the pointy tip of the guide, not the rod tip. For a new at this guy, I didn’t want to confuse anyone, although I’m sure you did understand what I meant. Thanks for your help. It Helped! 👍
I understood 👍 I've tried it that way before and I wasn't happy with that method...but what people tend to forget is that there are a lot of variables in what we are all doing. I wrap with machine embroidery thread that is smaller than size A rod building thread in diameter. It is some tiny stuff. I also wrap with quite a bit of tension. My wrapping jig is different than yours. My technique is different. The lighting where I wrap is going to be different. All sorts of variables that make things different from person to person. What works well for one person may not work so well for the next. I always encourage people to look at different methods and try different ways of doing things. Take bits and pieces you find useful and develop you own methods over time. It's all part of the process!
That micro type of guide always tangle with the line on my rod. As a result, my braid line got hairy and snaps. I change to Fuji alconite non tangle micro guide (FUJI K Series CCKTAG Alconite Guides) Now much fewer tangle line).
Also, when you use a black marker do you worry about the chlorine content of the marker? I have read that some worry about chlorine and other halogens in marker ink because they cause steel to corrode over time. I bought a set of low-halogen sharpie markers to use for this, which are certified for use in industrial applications where corrosion is unacceptable.
I haven't ever noticed a problem with that, but it is something I probably should look into. Thanks for the bringing that possibility to my attention, I will do some research on it.
@@TheFishingHobby Thanks, I've only been doing this as a on and off hobby. i'm 74 years old and only do this for my own enjoyment. I find your videos very helpful.
I just stick some sandpaper to the edge of my bench and rub the guide foot left and right on it moving spots when the paper gets worn out. If I had a lathe I'd probably do it your way. I don't make enough rods to justify buying any heavy equipment.
I definitely wouldn't have bought my lathe just to build rods. I build a lot of different things and the lathe in the video is the tool I use the most. Very valuable tool for me. The diamond wheels I use can be used in a drill as well. I only run them at 600 rpms.

Great tips man this helped me out been struggling with Mico guides. I'm new to replacing my own guides thanks again for your video.
I’m glad it helped!

I think you will like this method 👍
Love your videos man. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and gifts!
Thank you, never thought about using a mini clamp, will give it a try
No problem, I think it will work out for you. It works good for me!
I’m using this video to learn to wrap blanks for my friend company UAM
Great video footage, thanks for posting this video!
Good bless you.
Nicely done
Thanks! Helped me!
Awesome video thanks for sharing!!
Thanks!

I have not, but I'd be interested in seeing your results!
Thanks it will take a while as you know.Paul

Sorry, I don't own one of those reels.

If the guide is lashed to the rod firmly, then I say do it however it works best for you 👍

What kind of grinding wheel is that?
They are diamond grinding wheels from Harbor Freight. I talk about them more in this video: ua-cam.com/video/_8zQ0pdIjB8/v-deo.html
What type of tool are you using for pushing the threads 🧵?
It is one of the tools in this kit: www.harborfreight.com/6-piece-stainless-steel-carving-set-34152.html
Thanks for everything God bless 🙏🏼

Miss ya
Have you ever used backing with a micro guide?
I’m not sure what you mean by backing. Do you mean an under wrap? If so, I don’t use under wraps because I mostly build ultralight rods.
yea, I meant under wrap. my bad. but you answered my question, thanks
No problem! Using an under wrap wouldn’t be a problem if you wanted to do that.

Good grief. I'd need a magnifying glass for those little things.😂
They help!
