Thanks. It was too cold in my garage today for me to take a few minutes and notch a couple boards to hold the rod up. So I took a couple of my coffee mugs, put the butt of the rod in one handle and the other handle about 1/2 way up for an instant rod holder. Placing the mugs upside down raised the rod about an inch, but I set them on two TV trays to give me a little more room to work the thread with. If I didn't have the tv trays, I could have put the mugs on a couple of books to raise them.
Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup ru-vid.comUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.
Thank you for this video. I am going to try this out on my rods that need new guides. You saved me a lot of money. Keep posting your tips. Easy to watch and no bs.
Nice vid, replaced a few rod tips but never mid blank guide. Good video to do in the winter when water time is limited would be line types/test and uses for all the different methods you use.
I have only been watching your videos for the last coue of days and anytime I have a problem I look you up! You have amazing videos and you are very knowledgeable! Keep it up homes!
Could not find two part epoxy at 10:35pm in an Atlanta suburb. I used super glue to adhere the guide to the rod. Then I used Gorilla glue to "paint" over the thread I wrapped over the guide feet. Now I found out it had a chemical reaction to the super glue and turned into a total mess ( gorilla glue clouded up and formed a sponge like glob on both sides of the guide feet) Gonna have to strip off what I started and begin all over.
Thank you so much for this video. I purchased a second hand Lews baitcaster I found it on Facebook marketplace for $40.. I couldn't believe it. When I got their O was more focused on checking the reel than looking closely at the eyelets. Well, one of the eyelets was missing the inner ring, whatever it's called. I figured I would see if any videos were out on replacing it and sure enough , there you are and I was already subscribed to your page! You have awesome content man. Keep it up!!
Thanks for the information. This is exactly what I been looking for since I don't care if it looks pretty as long as it works. Also don't want to spend too much on all the stuff that others recommend on buying to get this done. Your solution seems so far like the cheapest and most practical of the videos I've seen so far. Again thanks for taking the time to show us.
Nice video broke some guides yesterday bank fishing. Will be ordering some goodies soon. Also could you use like 8lb braid as the thread for wrapping the guide
Im gonna have to do this to the rod i just bought. I was literally too excited to find a baitcaster so cheap and i just bought it lol. Awesome video bro thanks!
excellent video thank you. But and I am wondering if there is a way to just put some plastic back in the guide? The smallest guide on my 7 medium heavy fast, the tip guide, end guide, whatever the term is I am not sure since I fish some but have never done any actual rod crafting or maintenance…. Anyway the guide is still on the and secured, but it is all metal now, the plastic in it stripped off or something. And my dad’s friend who had previously been a guide and is wayeeee more experienced than me pointed it out to me and said yah you could just do it yourself. Lol, which led me to search out this video. So is there a way to just put some plastic back onto it?

I did this to a free rod from the side of the road, I had it for a bit and then I got a penn long beach for 5 dollars so I finally fixed it, already had all the supplies just never got around to it. Don't have a turner so I sat and turned it for a while.
I know this video is pretty old but I need to repair the top guide on my baitcasting pole. I would think that is a different process. Any info would be appreciated 🤙🏻 Thank you
I’m noticed that my first one closest to the reel was bent all the way down! Is the eye ruined? I bent it as least as close to the other ones as I could get it
You didn’t say which Loctite that was that you were using but , by the color of the squeeze bottle , I that it was ultra gel control . That is the one that I prefer to use because it partially sets the quickest , thereby keeping you from holding the two things that you are trying to hold together too long .
Where did you get that rod holder? Been looking for them, ebay, and Amazon. I have seen couple on videos that have couple thread holders also just like one you got, but with bottom to it. Can't find what there called, or where there sold.
How do you repair the old pin rods with a cork on it my dad gave me his and the whole court and the real is loose I was wondering do you think there's a repair kit for it or is it just done with
If you have to do a few guides on one rod, can you do them all and then dry them on the spinner? Or is it better to dry each one before doing the next?
The big question, I have a 9 foot lamiglass salmon rod(new) I want to use it for my kayak any way I can effectively take two feet off the over all length without ruining the rod?
Thank you for the video. Will it affect my fishing if the second lineguide from my casting reel is off? I am not handy at all after a stroke so my right hand is very weak.
Have a friend help you. They can learn this skill too! You should replace the second eyelet up because as line comes off the reel it often wobbles and sometimes this may cause it to partly wrap around the rod which could cause a tangle. Another alternative might be to just file the broken eyelet as flat as you can, but keep in mind that when landing fish with the rod properly bent, this increases the load on the other eyelets nearby. :)
Another tip. Be VERY CAREFUL witht heat you apply, especially if repaired a guide near the tip of the blank where its very thin. Take it from somebody who has learned the hard way... you can easily damage the blank with too much heat and destroy your rod. JUST ENOUGH HEAT TO MELT THE RESIN.
It's just something that turns the rod while in UV light. You can make your own UV light chamber if you really want to, but it's not that big of a deal.
you can use a piece of thread about 10 or so inches long and fold it in half so that you have a loop. Then before you finish off the wrapping, you put the piece of thread you looped where you stopped wrapping. Make sure you overlap it so that the loop is showing. Continue wrapping over the thread loop several times. Once you reach the point where you are finished wrapping the thread, clip off the thread and leave a few inches. Take the tag end and run it through the loop. Keep tension on the tag end with one hand and grab the opposite end of the loop end and pull on it. You will see the tag end go under the wrapping so that you have a nice finish. Then you are ready to epoxy and finish the job! Hope that makes sense. Good luck.
I think it is more for on the go and getting the rod ready so it can be used like in a tournament. I have done that exact thing before and it worked fine so it is usable. I know it isnt the custom look and done like a manufacturer but in a pinch it works quick. Have any pics of some of your rod builds Jon? Id like to see some if possible.
@@jonforce781 can you please recommend a professional how-to video then? I want to learn but I have nowhere to go in real life to learn. This would benefit me and many others. I'm not planning on charging anyone. They supply the eyelets, I fix the rod.
I think he is just showing people how to do a quick repair so they can get their rod up and going again. Ive repaired a rod similiar to that so i can fish a tournament the next day and it worked for what i needed then when i got home i repaired it correctly.
