Wow! This has been the BEST video tutorial on this subject that I’ve seen. Not only informative but well explained.

This is among the best video i have watched on repairing/ changing rod guide.

Thanks, the only thing I would add is make sure you buy stainless steel eyes if you salt water fish. I have to order new ones and replace these due to rust.

I really appreciate your video, for those that like to repair their own things, not too many people do it these days.

You’re telling me. Even basic tech repairs that are $5 will still have people buy a new device for $80 because 30 minutes is too much effort

Excellent job. Especially the tip to apply heat to get bubbles out of an epoxy finish. A step that many overlook. Just getting ready to replace two eyes on my Ugly Stick too. A very hood refresher for me.

Only advice I can add is to make sure you buy stainless eyes if you saltwater fish. I have to redo mine because of rust.

Great video brother!... I'm about to tackle this on two of my only dunking rods that I have. Taking it to a shop here in Hawaii is going to cost $30 per eyelet, for each rod. I'm a DIY kind of guy, and I appreciate this video. Mahalo's! \m/

about to try this in a few days. Got the same box of eyes that you showed in video. How do you set up your reel that you are taking off the braid? I orderd a small spool of line , but now sure how to set it up to keep tension on it? thanks

@SRadigFishing 11 ай бұрын

I leave the reel on the bottom half of the rod and pile a bunch of books on it for weight. Then just play with the drag till the tension is right for you.

What thread did you use to wrap on guide ring, is it okay to use braided line?

@SRadigFishing 4 ай бұрын

I used 20# power pro braid, only thing I would change is I didn't use stainless steel eyes and now they are rusting and will need to be redone.
