Does anyone know how to tie on a rod guide..?i'm missing one on my 7 foot Lighting rod..the tiny one right before the rod tip..
I do like the 7 footers for flipping..but my arm was killing me ..,,some of that cover I was talking about is waaaay out there..
I have began tying my own rods this year, finishing up number 3 sometimes this week.
Is the guide a middle guide or on the end. I'm assuming middle as you would know enough to superglue the end on for a quick fix.
There is no easy explaination on the internet. Best guess would be to go to youtube and video it, im sure there are great demonstrations.
I think a rod tying company, mudhole.com, has videos that are great.
