Something worth mentioning is to consider selling the rod as is and buying one with the guides you want. Or perhaps buying one of the OTI blanks and have it built to your specifications. I personally do not like to take a rod apart if the guides on them are still in good shape. A rod that has wraps that are falling apart, guides that are broken but a blank action that you like a lot, personal favorite or treasured artifact may be worth the rebuild. Compare the costs of rewrap vrs the cost of a new custom rod minus the selling price of the old rod. jmho

Thats true I have post them both rods for sale but no replies so far , I guess I shall wait a while prior to make the move to replace the guides. They are great looking rods dont know why lamiglas did not design them with SIC guides. I love the OTI 56 S

Hardloy guides are just fine for braided lines. In fact, many hardcore tuna jig fishermen on the East Coast use Hardloy guides for years without any problem.
