Guide Size?

Guys: My buddy has asked me to replace the tip top guides on two of his rods but I'm not sure what size to order to replace them. I'm almost positive they are fuji concept guides. The baitcasting rod is a Bass Pro Shops "Extreme" rod; 6.6' medium action. The spinning rod is a Bass Pro Shops "Pro Qualifier" rod; 6' medium action. Any help you could give me on ordering the guide size would be much appreciated.

If they are Fuji concept guides, the sizes of the guides should be stamped on the frame.

If you don't see a number stamped on the frame as Mel suggested, measure the guide ring outside to outside of the ceramic portion.

Measure the rod at the tip. Convert that measurement to 64ths. That is the tube size. Measure the outside of the ceramic ring and convert to mm's. That's your guide size.
