Hi Lads,
I am trying to find out the ID of sizes 1-6 of the REC RSFX Saltwater Fly Guides. Does anyone know?
Thanks
Chris

#3 = 6.25mm
#6 = 7.85mm

Sorry, but those are the only two sizes I use for hook keepers.

REC now manufactures "real" hook keepers: the sku# is RHK. They come is S & L. The large is a little small for saltwater IMO. I think the small would be too small except for the lightest rods.

Saves scratching your guides!!

I used a size 7 LSG for a heavy saltwater rod. It is a little small.
