Noticed some line fraying while fishing on Sunday, cut that piece off and a while later noticed more frayed line. After checking my rod guides I have a crack in my first guide ( the largest one). It's pretty noticeable, and I can feel it with my finger.

Would I be better off to have a local rod builder replace the guide, or go through the warranty process and be without a rod for awhile?

Idk the brand of guides on the rod but they don't look to be of any I've ever seen before.

Have a local builder replace it. Should cost you about $15, if that. The builder will know what guide it is.

That's what I was thinking. I called a local shop and he said he has someone that could do it for 12$. Sounds much better.

If it is under warranty, the maker might send you a matching guide.

I don't particularly like the guides on the rod. So I think I'm just gonna have them all replaced.
