Abstract

Apparatus for guiding a rod into a conduit from a reel located remote from the conduit is comprised of an elongated support one end of which is mounted adjacent the end of the rod when fully wound on the reel. The other end of the support is adapted to receive and support a guide conduit extending between the support and the conduit into which the rod is to be inserted. A cover extending substantially the length of the support is removably mounted thereon whereby the support and cover provide an extension of the guide conduit to guide the end of the rod into the guide conduit when the rod is unwound from the reel.
