    Update old rods

    I have some older rods that I really like but the need new guides and I was thinking of getting someone to put micro guides on them. Does anyone know who I could get to do this and the cost? Thanks.

    I don't know any builders in your area to recommend, but $65 for each rod would be a ball park price with good micro guides.

    honestly you would be better off selling the rods and buying new custom blanks. A good builder will be able to measure your existing rods and duplicate the power and action with a better, lighter rod blank that is built just how you want it.

    Had a buddy update an old All Star Tom Mann Jr C-rig rod with micros and all I can say is wow. Also had him removed the gloss finish. It feels like a new rod. I took him an old SJ1 last week. I can't give up some of my old favorites, so updating them made good sense.
