Great idea with the ice cream stick. Always up for a new trick or two, that blank looks like it's all ready for a nice new Fuji K guide now!! I appreciate the effort of posting this.
@3DayRespawn hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover electronic repairs dublin try Saankramer Electronic Magazine System (just google it ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my friend got cool success with it.
Nice video, great demonstration. Can you strip one side of the guide and re do it without removing the whole thing? If the guide feet are epoxied separately of course (not like the rod in your example)
Hey mate, awesome video. I'm thinking of stripping a build i did as im not happy with the finish. Can you save the guides when you remove them. if so how do you go about cleaning the guides of epxoy
Hi, I have been trying to repair rods and reels for a little while now..... the biggest problems I have are finding the right tools for the jobs??? Can you tell me, what are you using, did you make or buy your rod holder? Is it a rotisserie?
do you know what are good brands of guide? thanks. i dont know if i should just take it to a shop as i dont have the tools. a shop was asking for $12 to replace the tip guide w/ part included. thanks
rod tips are easy and cheap, they sell kits at tackle stores usually. Just follow the directions for those. Guide repair is different, that should be done by a someone who wraps guides/rods. Fuji, alps, pacific bay, american tackle company, are all good brands
VERY NICE WORK !!! CAN YOU TELL ME PLEASE HOW MANY PRECENT THE DENATURED ALCOHOL CONTAIN ? IS IT 70 % ALCOHOL, 95 % ? AND WHAT YOU RECOMMEND ? THANK YOU

It is indeed very useful... Great effort Nick ... Found it so far the best way to remove the guide...
Had a snake guide snapped off on my favorite fly rod and this worked like a charm to prep for a new one, thanks!
Just what I needed to know. Great explaining.
Awesome video great help im replacing two broken rod guides thanks alot
Found this at the right time, thanks Nick very helpful and well executed in camera and explanation.
Awesome video, that’s all I needed to see! 👍🏼👍🏼😀
Great Video, easy to follow, and a great tool for beginners like me!
very thorough and clear/calm demo. well done. ps-use hand creamer, your hands look like they need some TLC
Very nicely done and should be a great help to the new builders.
That means a lot coming from you Doc. Thank you
You need to make rod wrapping tutorials, I follow your stuff on Instagram and your rods are always so clean!

very easy to follow, well done video. super helpful. thank you
Nice vid. You should make a video of how to repair a slipped reel seat.
Nice video, great demonstration.

Very cool, thank you!!!

definitely save the guides. Just use a toothpick and some heat to pick out the epoxy from the guide feet
What bench is that? Thank you!
Nick, thanks for the video. It's still helping folks 5+ years on. Question for you: why is the one section of the blank white/clear?
I believe its a reflection of the light. It's a graphite/plain blank with clear coat
Very nice. Will this work on an old fiberglass rod ?
Thanks man!!!
thank you for this I will get some denatured alcohol for my attempt
Would this work on a colored blank? Neon blue in particular. Might have to space out my guides differently
It will work .It doesn't matter the color.
Hi, I have been trying to repair rods and reels for a little while now..... the biggest problems I have are finding the right tools for the jobs??? Can you tell me, what are you using, did you make or buy your rod holder? Is it a rotisserie?
its just my power wrapper
Good job guys!!!
Does this also work with blanks that have a finish on them from the factory?
Clear finish should be ok. Paint gets finicky as it can come off really easily sometimes.
They make plastic razor blades that you might find helpful for scraping
Where can I get that rod holder?
Nice video
What type of guides do you have wrapped on this rod?
fuji BMNAG
@@n1ckxlam thx
thank you nick for posting this.. i need to find some denatured alcohol
How can I just replace the inserts within the 'guide'? The plastic ring/circle within the guide broke.
The guide has to be replaced, those inserts are usually ceramic and have very very tight tolerances
you mean the whole eye itself? Thanks.
