Hello everyone.

I need some advice on the best way to repair the following damages on the line guides.

The damage on the guide insert in the picture below looks little but I fear chipping from here will begin and increase. I was thinking of filling it with either MSeal or Araldite.

The guide frame is rusted and broken at two places. The insert ring is just loosely hanging but is intact. Can it be soldered, welded or replaced?

Would really appreciate your valuable suggestions.

Sanjay,

Replacement guides (by Fuji and others) are readily sold in tackle stores
overseas and do not cost too much.

You will need to know how to change a guide on the rod or get someone competent to do it for you.

I think that if you try to fix the existing guides yourself, these will give
way at a crucial moment and cost you that fish of a lifetime!!

Hi Sanjay,

Its really easy there is nothing that we need to invent to change the guide as i have changed for my rods.. what i do is that i Buy the enitre set from fishing tackle stores or if anyone has a guide of a broken rod . i am sure many will have as i have 2-3 broken rods . U can take some tips by looking at some videos in youtube. i am sure it will help you to work it out.

u need
Guide that you need
Nylon thread
Glue stick

Mr. Samsondhi, the rod tip size is either 9 or 10. Not able to surely judge as both sizes have very little difference. The rod id 9' Berkley Cherrywood 2 piece spinning rod. (CWGS902MH).
