Last time out I had a line guide break on me and fall out when I dropped it, the 3rd one up from the handle. It was on my main rod. So, I tried a temporary fix with some electrical tape formed around the guide, since I was only going to fish a couple hours and because when I checked the line was not rubbing on the guide during retrieve. I usually have 3 rods in the boat, an XH 9' (which was the guide that broke), XXH for large rubber and a 7'6" jerkbait setup. Besides switching rods, does anyone have another suggestion for what to do if this happens in the future while on the water?

Maybe cut it off close to the blank and go with one less guide for the day?
