Anyone ever replace their rod guide inserts?
I have one missing on a favorite bass rod and I'd hate to toss the rod because of it. It's not a particularly expensive rod, but it's one of my favorites and landed me close to 100 Largemouth on a trip to Mexico's Lake El Salto 2 years ago.
Pretty sure it's just a cheap aluminum oxide insert.
I've read that people seem about 50/50 on whether to replace the insert or have the entire guide replaced. Replacing the guide might cost more than the rod is worth, at least financially. The sentimental value though....and the fact that I am VERY good at catching fish with this rod would probably make it worth it.
Thoughts? Experiences?
