| I have two older rods that I really like. Was wondering how much it would cost to have the guides replaced and the blank refinished? Would it be worth it???

| Depends on what kind of rods they are Scott. First off, it is nearly impossible to duplicate a factory rod finish on the blank. I have refinished several and they will not look smooth like the factory job. As far as replacing the guides that is not a real difficult proposition depending on the type of guides you wanted to put back on.
I would caution, though, that less expensive rods are much more prone to being damaged while removing guides and rewrapping.
Are you planning on leaving the handle section as is?

| Yes, rod handles are fine. Would just be the guides and the finish. These are the old Cabela's Bucher series rods. I guess I'm thinking that by the time I buy the guides and add the time for someone to wrap and finish it, I'd probably be better off buying something like a new St. Croix.
Was just a thought.
