Rod Repair

[chuckieb]

I have a Shimano Trevala Spinning rod with a broken guide. Hoping someone can provide me with contact info for repair services. I live in Wayne, PA (near Villanova) so would much prefer close by options.

Hi, I know you were looking for a place close to you, but since you didn’t get any replies, I thought I’d at least mentioned Brielle bait and tackle in Brielle. New Jersey Performs the service. Good luck.

Just saw this---years ago I had the same problem-twice on different rods, but with tips. Try a bait and tackle shop, sometimes they have the tip or one that'll work and will do it for a nominal charge while you wait. Try one that has a decent display of rods, your chances will be better...Tips aren't a big replace problem, ring guides on the other hand take more servicing, what with matching sizes, color wraps and varnish finishing. Maybe search for a rod builder in your area.

Which guide is broken? If it's a tip than what Chuck is and the others said will work. Is it a blown out insert?
