I dropped my new carp rod today and smashed three of the ceramic line guides (fuji i think) the rod rings themselves are fine, my question is can the inserts be replaced without replacing the whole of the rings?
It's very easy to put on new guides yourself, so replacing the whole thing isn't really a problem...
There are some very ilustrative guides free on the web and even one here on FM!!! And the library is sure to have at least a few good books on the subject...
So my advice to go out and get some new guides and start whipping! A lot of times the and product is a lot nicer then the fabricated ones because after all, you are working on your own baby!
