leonardgid Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 hi there , need to replace a number of guides and tips on a few old rods , these rods are nothing fancy ! kmart , BigW, cheap online rods , so there is no need for expensive tips and guides , but i also i do not want to keep replacing the guides so a guide that will last would be ideal , can anyone advice on a type of guide/tips that will be reasonably affordable please.

noelm Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Most decent tackle stores will have a selection, especially if you find one that still builds rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingie chaser Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) They may be a few cents more but Fuji is what you want. Especially if you dont want to keep repacing them! Just go to Ana-conda at west gosford or a local tackle store& have a look for a pricing guide on the Ana-conda website, they are only about $2.50-7.99 depending on the size you need.

Green Hornet Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 All good advice above. Something like Fuji BSVOG guides are what you're after I reckon. They're cheap, good quality and the frames won't rust if you wash your gear down after a trip. Doing up some oldies is a great way to get into rod building. Don't forget, along with some thread you'll need some varnish or epoxy and possibly some filler as well to seal your bindings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
