Rod tip guide fix?

[Whoaru99]

So i go to use one of my rods today and notice the tip guide is turned almost 90-deg from the rest of the guides. Yet, try as I might within reason, the guide is not loose and I can't turn it back into alignment.

Thoughts on how it got that way since it's not loose and, more importantly, how to fix it?

All you need to do is carefully heat it up with a lighter, making sure not to burn anything, and then turn in 90 degrees back with a plier

FYI, Gander repairs them. The one in Lakeville didn't even charge me to put a new tip on. It was even a Cabelas rod.

I heated it and turned it back. Didn't take much heat at all. A couple quick waves of the flame and it was a done deal.

Thanks!
