Cracked Guides Hard to See
Cracked guides are hard to see, but they can do some real damage to your line, and cost you fish. Usually cracked guides are only revealed when the rod is under load.
The easiest way to discover cracked guides is to pull a stocking or piece of cotton wool through the guides. Even better is to get someone to pull down on the rod tip, and then pull the stocking through the guides. Again, cracked guides are a reasonably quick fix at your tackle shop.

Let God lead the way!
Give a man a fish he eats for one day, teach him to fish he eats forever!
