You can't really tell in the picture but this guide has a black frame and gold ring. It actually looks exactly like the berkley guides but I can't find this one anywhere. Whatever it is it'll be a cheaper in price guide, anyone got any idea's? Did berkley make this at one tie and just doesn't now?

I haven't called them yet but they don't have the black frame/gold ring on their site.

Black frame gold ring, appears to be a Dyna-Flo guide. Mudhole carries them. Just bought some.

I am pretty sure Dyna-Flo guides are silver/silver or black/silver ... no gold.

Fenwick DOES make their guides in every possible combination of black, silver and gold. Black frames/silver ring, Silver Frame/gold ring, etc. The fact that Jann's doesn't have that particular combination, doesn't mean they aren't Fenwick guides. The factory rods do come with all the various combinations.

IF you only need a single guide AND you tell me the size, I might just have the right combination here. If so, I will send it to you.

Jim, thank you VERY much. Let me talk to the guy and make sure it's only 1 guide and I will get back with you a day or 2. I got the rod from him the day of the big ice storm and my power was out for 9 days. With all of the craziness over the last 12 days or so I can't remember if it's just one guide or not.
