any tackle shop can do the replacement guide, or send to back to loomis and do the exchange ?

I cant send it back to loomis. The damage isnt covered in the warranty and i dont have to receipt. I suppose i shall have to search for a tackle shop in my area

I took two loomis rods to Takas tackle in Anaheim in the past. If its just the tip guide, they will change it out on the spot for you. I think it only cost a buck or two. Good people there...

I got a guide fixed at Johnnys Sport Shop in Pasadena, took 5 min and they charged me like $3-4. Give them a call, and ask, I am sure they can handle it for you.
