What is the best/ cheapest option to get a couple eyes replaced? Rod must have fell over and hit the garage floor and chipped the ceramic in two of the fuji guides. Can you just replace the ceramic? I'm in central wi.

Generally the inserts can not be replaced. The whole guide will need replacement. Some repair guys or rod builders do it, send back to manufacturer for repair or do it yourself. There are You Tube videos on how to replace or install guides.

Buzz in Ripon will take care of you. Or send to the manufacturer.

Thanks for the advice guys! I'm waiting for the manufacturer to reply, but curious on how much you think it may cost to be fixed assuming I'll need two guides replaced.

The whole guide will need to be replaced. I paid $10 for each guide I had replaced on some of my rods. Most likely you will have to pay more unless you know someone that builds rods.
