After further review. If i can just get one eyelet replaced. I can wait on the others. I will get in touch maybe bring rod to next meeting maybe
One, two, three... doesn't matter. I have the goods to do it, you just need to get the right guides for it. Do you have a source locally? If not, you can try www.mudhole.com ... yes, sounds like a porn site but it isn't I have a micrometer to measure the guides if you don't have one. Let me know if you want to have a look at it sooner.
Here is one of my rods in progress. One of my practice wraps just messing around with patterns.

Let's have a look at the rod and we can go from there. I'm building two rods right now... Guide repair isn't terribly difficult.

Daryl Snodgrass says he isn't doing rod repair or building at this time, says Dan Caffery may be getting into this.

If Daryl doesn't work out I have all the tooling to replace them as well.

Does anybody have any ideas where to go to get eyelets replaced? I have some very old rods missing eyelets that I don't want to give up on yet, but everywhere I've called or gone only does Rod tips. I'm also not looking to spend an arm and a leg was thinking about trying to learn to do it myself.
