Well first off, it's been some time since I've posted here. Hope everyone is doing well all things considered....

So I unfortunately broke a stripping guide off my favorite rod, my yellow Heddon 8381. Now I've done a handful of wraps myself, but this being my go to rod, I'd like to leave nothing to chance and have someone far more experienced than I repair it. If anyone here could help or point me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks.

You might try sending a PM to eastprong on this forum. He does excellent work and should be able to do the replacement and get the color right. Whether he is accepting repair work at this time I don't know, but he's done repair work for me in the past and I can highly recommend him. The only downside is the shipping costs for such a small job. Now that I see where you're located, Joe Balestrieri of Redwing Fly Rods in Fox Point, WI is at the highest level of skill and would be very reasonably priced. You can get his contact info from his website https://redwingflyrods.com/
