Sewer Times 6/9/16
Total count: 18 fish consisting of a mix of calicos, sand bass, brown rockfish, and a short cuda. The majority of the bass were short, but I managed to pick up a few legals on some Zman plastics. Most of the fish were hooked up on the sink, but a few bit while retrieving on the bottom. The day was a mix of success and frustration since I managed to crack the insert of a fuji guide on my light baitcasting set-up. Sucks! Does anyone know of an inexpensive place to get the eyelet replaced? Calm, calm, CALM! The water pretty much looked like this the whole time I was out, a REALLY nice change of pace from the usual death winds that the sewer is known for. 16" est. Calico on a tiny Zman swimbait. I forget the name. The fight was FUN! Some tasty critters for dinner. A pretty cool find. A couple of the rockfish had a local shrimp and anchovie in their gut. lots of life in the harbor right now. micro anchovies are all over the place and some kelp is regrowing in some areas. |

Thanks for the report.
Looks like a fun outing. Love those glassy calm days. I've had rods repaired at Just Fishing by Pete in Redondo. Great work and reasonable prices. Cheers, Steve |

Sav-On Tackle in Santa Fe Springs does that sort of repair. I'm actually planning to take my heavy bass rod in there today to see about having my rod-tip replaced; My insert is also cracked. I have the means of replacing my own guides, but I like that rod and I'd rather it look good when it's done! I'll let you know what they quote me.

Looks like a fun day in great conditions. I've had guides replaced at Sav On Tackle in Santa Fe Springs. I don't remember what I paid but I'm sure it wasn't much and it looked like factory when I picked it up. They do reel repairs there, too. Great shop that has about everything.

I have had a few rod tips repaired at Squidco which was only 3 bucks each. Not sure about how much the guides are.
Squidco is also having there annual fathers day sale next Saturday which might be a good excuse to go down there. They always have some good deals, its my favorite time of the year to shop there.

The Jig Stop in Dana Point also does guide replacements pretty cheap. I think I paid $7 plus the cost of the guide for my Calstar and the job looks factory.

Hijacked Thread
I think your thread has been turned into a marketing page for our local tackle shops.

Almost forgot to come back to this thread and tell you I was only charged $3 to replace my cracked tip-top guide at Sav-On. The only bad thing is the guide is pretty small, probably a micro, and so I'm gonna have to swap it out. Next time I'll just do it myself, haha! Craftsmanship was fine and the price was plenty fair.

Thanks Dave! I'm still going back and forth between ordering a guide and doing it myself or stopping by Sav-on-tackle. Was your replaced tip Fuji?

No idea. For the price probably not, but I have a trip to San Simeon approaching in a few days so I just needed a functional rod. I'll swap it out just as soon as I return home. Replacing a rod tip is often times as simple as hitting it with a lighter to heat the glue, removing, gluing, and replacing. Typically the wrap is decorative and starts after the tube of the tip.

I hear ya'. I've had old rods replaced with ceramic ones or the generic berkely tips that broke on me shortly after replacing so I'm not sure if I want to take chances.
