looking for certain guide

I'm trying to replace a guide on a Shakespeare Ugly Stick Lite. It's the same style as the Fuji All Purpose Cast/Spin but its a black frame with silver/chrome or stainless ring.
Has anyone seen these for sale anywhere?


I tried Shakespeare but they don't sell guides.
I wonder why though?
They are more than happy to send you parts for reels and even replace them with brand new reels if the original can't be fixed. Wonder why they aren't willing to offer similar service for their rods. Excuse my digression....

Can't help you on the guide, but I would guess that Shakespeare can't sell you a guide as they don't make their rods so they wouldn't have any guides to sell you. They buy them (as do many companies) already made from overseas (China, I think!)

I would try and find a old junker Shakespeare and use a guide from it. Shakespeare guides are not the best in the world the rings alway split away from the fram
Good Wraps Bob Why not just put new guides on the rod
