Need Guide Reccomendation

I just built an 11' spinning rod all with BVS3TNG guides, black crome frame with PVD TiN gold rings. I really like the look of these guides but I am not happy with the way it works using these from butt to tip. I want to re-wrap using NGC. I will keep three of the VS3's for transition on back. I cannot seem to find a size 6 fly guide with a black frame and a gold ring for the running guides to match the VS3's. Anybody know of such a critter?

Contact Joe Douglas at Black Dog Tackle. I seem to recall he had some of these at the ICRBE last year. I may be mistaken but it would only take you a single email to find out.

Try Schneider's Rod Shop, I got some from him a couple of years ago. They are listed under Batson Guides. Hope this helps.
