I'm repairing four Rogue bass rods and want to make sure I get the exact replacement guides. I heard Rogue changed guide suppliers a couple years ago but I'm not sure what guides originally came on on these rods. Here is what I have:

711FS7C replacing 4th guide from tip. 05 is marked on the bottom decal
MB704C replacing 5th guide from tip. 06 is marked on the bottom decal
MB704C replacing 6th guide from tip. No year marking on bottom decal
DS704S replacing tip top

If you can tell me the sizes and original guide/tip suppliers I would appreciate it.

I'm not aware that Rogue has changes suppliers, all mI've seen have been Fuji Alconites. They have this information on their website. Measure the ceramic ring's OD to get the right guide size in mm. Measure rod tip in 1/64th of an inch to get the tube size to order. There are half sizes in the tube size. The paperwork says the DS704 blank I used was a 5 tube, that doesn't mean yours will be. Think it's listed as a 5.5 in the catalog.

Here is their web site, it may clear up some ideas you may have [www.roguerods.com]

the ones that I have at the house all have alconites on them. They are a few years old though.... ie.. 2003
