Its more than twice as hard to repair a rod than it is to build it from scratch. It also makes a mess usuallly. Also if you plan on moving the guides instead of putting them back on in exactly the same place , the refinishing the old spots is hard and probably well beyond a beginners ability to do it right. I suggest you just replace them exactly where they were.

When I say drive it east I mean so the tackle shop can see it so you get the right parts so you can repair it yourself.
