Just noticed the other day that the ceramic fell out of one of the middle guides on my 10 year old St Croix. My favorite schoolie rod...
Watched a few You Tube video's on repair...I can whip up a couple V-block supports and I have spinners. I watched the "knot method."
Where can I get these supplies in a pinch? Thread, epoxy and a new eye? It's a hike to go to CMS or M&D's...does Bass Pro or #^&#^&#^&#^&s Sporting Good's carry this stuff? I'm in Attleboro. I have seen rod tips readily available but I don't remember seeing thread or middle eyes (not sure of the specific size since I have not measured it yet).
