Loomis Imx
fixing fishing rod guides?
i have a g. loomis imx fast action med heavy rod with chiped up rod guides…. its only the tip of the rod were the guide have little chips and niks and scratches and i need to know how to fix it so it wont fray my line as much
its a spinning rod
The fix is to pick up the right size guide for the rod tip and put it on the rod. I would be scared to work on a rod such as the Loomis, but on my cheaper rods I replace them all the time. I heat very carefully the tip of the guide. As I heat it. I am applying pressure to pull it off with a set of pliers. The secret is to get the tip just hot enough to melt the adhesive that holds it on. When it gets soft, the tip pulls off. Clean off the residue on the tip. When you buy the replacement tip, be sure and get you a tube of epoxy that is made for that purpose. Apply it to the tip and line it up properly with the rest of your guides and push it on. A warning here- do not over heat the end of the rod tip, it will ruin the rod.
