need to find THOSE guides

They are on Berkely, Pinnacle, and I think now the new Fenwick rods. All of whom are owned by Berkley. metal frame, thin, looks like metal insert. I did get some black "sets" from Bingham but they don't sell singles.

Recently getting a LOT of repairs for these rods and I need to but a supply of single foot, and double foot in both black and chrome sizes along with matching tip tops.

Any sponsor out here sell these. I have a retail license and would like to buy them at wholesale, in quantity.

Thanks,
Buzz

Hi, Buzz....Weird......they must be stepping on them, and crushing them? There's no insert to break....(the seller's hook on the sales pitch)....or are they grooving them with braided lines? Or....................?

Available at Jann's Netcraft. Not very good except maybe on light rods. No ceramic. Flat metal ring that causes friction and is susceptible to wear/grooving

Ken,
They are breaking the frame right where it starts to be wrapped onto the guides. The baitcasting rods with the small (size 7 ring) single foot guides are the most common seen for repairs. I thought it weird also.
