The guides on the rod I have now are broken (well most are) and (was told) are too small, they also need to be respaced as there are 13 of them on the rod. I would like to have all of the guides stripped off, respaced and new one put on, does anyone know what the average cost would be for somthing like this?

I do not know what the blank is as I bought this used with the seller not knowing what type of blank it was.

Thanks

That's no surprise, if he had 13 guides put on it :doh:

How long, and what color is the blank? Gloss finish or flat matte? That'll be a clue to who made it.

Re-wraps can run from about $8 to more than $20 a guide depending on the builder. Some builders charge to remove the old guides, too. That could run into a little bit of money with a 13 guide rod.

I posted in the other forum where you asked.
it is quicker for a builder to build a new rod than to rewrap an old so the price goes up.
My sugestion is you learn to wrap.
it will make a good project.

That would be WAY cool if I could learn to wrap a rod. Are there any local classes up in northern mass?
