Aftco Swivel top question for a wire line outfit... I have two rods with full sets of aftco roller guides...the regular roller tops are stamped 26 on one and 28 on the other. I need a wire line tip top and they do not seem to be sized by the same numbers... will an aftco wire line guide measureing 20/64ths fit either rod. I know someone selling one?

Just figured out that the 20/64ths guide is equivalent to a size 20. Too small.

Does anyone have a wire line guide that will fit etiher the 26 or 28 that they are looking to sell?

The swivel tops are size exactly that way & they are available in size 26 & 28. Any of the sponsors to the left that carry Aftco products should be able to get you one.

It seems they are about $50 plus shipping.

Anyone out there know of someone willing to part with one for less? Post and I'll contact ya.

They are not cheap...as you already pointed out. I pay almost $50 for the SHD sizes and I buy wholesale. You'll have to pay to play. Another option is to go with a hard ring tip top. This will save you LOTS of money.
