I popped a mid rod guide last fall on a large blue shark. Rod is a 50 lb class. Anyone know any websites that might show a procedure with pictures on how to replace the guide?

Since you have no other takers ----You might be better off taking it somewhere to have it done but if you want to learn how gudebrod used to and I think its still available has a small phamplet on this and other basic stuff.I say Id do it for ya but I have know idea where you are.I only do this as a hobby but its kind of a fanatical one.I would have no problem showing you how if you are close to the south shore in mass or want to travel.What kind of guide does it need and how complicated is the wrap it was done with.If this is a cheaper factory blank they sometimes paint the trim bands on it and doing one guide with thread only will work but it will look different.
