Best to replace the guide.

I have this issue, I have used super glue.  Dave would it be worth doing each guide, on three rods?

Tbh, I have never tried superglue on guide inserts. How long did the repair last when you used it?

I had this happen on the stripping guide of a fly rod and glued it back with epoxy. Lasted as long as I had the rod.

If super glue (CA) doesn't work it usually will not set, so I wouldn't expect the bond to fail after a trip or 2 otherwise. If you don't have immediate time/opportunity to get a new guide and get it replaced seems gluing the insert is a reasonable short term fix.

I would use JB Weld instead of regular epoxy. It works especially well with metal. Not impressed with copy cat brands. I prefer the long cure to the quick set. I am about to do this on my St Croix drift rod I damaged this week on a trip down to the Chilliwack.
