I notice the brittle tippet part of treating flies as well. I use a "grease" style treatment, and prefer it because I can see when it's time to re-treat when my flies are sinkers. -M. PS- have you tried any 'spray-style' treatments?

Got all the way out to my usual place, looked in the trunk, ok, wading boots-on, vest-front ok, walked halfway to the spot in my shorts... holy crap, where are my waders~! -M.

Success! It looks a little more battle-worn than I'd like, but the guide is back on. Now I won't get the 'line droop' in the middle of a cast! -M.

Hello FlyFish! First time poster, long time lurker. I use a TFO 4-W, and have broken a line guide. I have a repair kit. Never tried to fix one before, and I'm going to try and do it myself. Yes, I've heard that a new section is only $40 at TFO, but it's something I want to try. Any tips on repairing a line guide? Do I need to remove all the epoxy, the entire circumference? Can I just 'dig out' the old guide and re-epoxy? Thanks folks. -M.
