Does anyone know where I can get a guide repaired on my sons fishing rod in the Edmonton area? He somehow broke the ceramic out of it.

Thanks.

Its actually really easy to do yourself. All you need is a fly bobbin, the right color thread and some clear adhesive to finish the wrap. The hard part can be finding the matching rod guide but many stores sell them. Its a valuable skill to have if you fish a lot.

If it was an ugly stik I’d give it a shot but it’s a gloomis IMX so I don’t mind spending a few bucks having it fixed up.
