Chris,
A simple thing to do, would be to strip all of the guides and tip top and replace with a new set. Over the years, I have done that with a lot of rods which have come in with an older set of guides needing replacement of just one or two. After checking with the client, I will get the go ahead and just redo all of the rods. Normally, to strip and replace a set of guides is generally only an hour or so, so not a big deal, as long as the client is paying for your time. Take care Edited 1 time(s).

Ben,
Are you referring to the time to strip guides, clean up the blank tape on new guides and coat them? 10 minutes to strip the guides. 5 minutes to clean up the rod. 5 minutes to tape on the new guides. 20 minutes to wrap the guides, 10 minutes for each coat of finish that you want to apply to the guides. I am not speaking of putting any trim wraps on the guides, just a simple one color wrap. Of course, if you want to spend 10-20 hours on the job, you can certainly do that as well. I work on rods in a production environment, where the number of guides on the rod is equal to xxx times the number of guides and that equals the pay check. I think that if you look at the videos of factory rod builds, I expect that these times are somewhat similar to their times. After a person has built many many rods, it is reasonable to build rods at this rate. A lot of low production rod builders prefer to take a lot of time on a rod, and that works well also. It is just up to the builder to build in his/her own manner. Take care Re: Hardloy guides

I suspect that somebody will have one of those guides. Always good to get a larger job if you can, but many customers won't go the extra dollar. You do what you can to make them happy.

Looks like a Bingham has what I need. Yes the man don't want to put a lot in the rod. I thank you all. I will say this. Roger there is no way I can build that fast. Re: Hardloy guides
