just had a look at the link you posted you could buy a new one for the price of a cheap set of guides.
£20ish for guides £20ish for high build and £4ish for thread so it will work out at £44ish and then what ever that is in yo yos its not worth it

Cheers for the replys I have a half decent rod as well as this one, this fits down to about 40cm so can take it as hand luggage and that is the reason that I bought it, it dosent matter if the rings are dearer than the rod if I buy another rod then the same thing will probably happen, if I put good rings on I am hoping it will be fine.
