Need help finding a certain guide

I am repairing a Bass Pro Shops Pro Series MegaCast IM6 Spinning rod. It has one missing guide. the owner wants me to find and replace it. The problem is....these guides have extremely long legs on them. I have never seen such long-legged guides...I ordered a Fuji Hardloy for it because it looked more like it than anything I could find....It was nowhere near as tall....Anyone familiar with these guides and who might have them? Thanks in advance...

Steve if the rods been around a while it may be a "M" match guide. Sevier, Pac Bay, Rainshadow/Forecast still make them. If they have gold frames Sevier may be your only choice, Neal's carries them in his catalog in the Tiger Eye components. The rest are easy to find on their sites.

Steve

I just compared the guides on my old BPS IM6 mega cast spinning rod to a set of unused Pac Bay "model M" guides that I have. They are the same guides. 2004 Pac Bay catalog, bottom of page 21 (don't know what page if newer catalog). I think I bought this set at Versitex a couple of years ago. If you have a hard time finding any e-mail me. The set I have (gold frames - hialoy rings) are not being used.
