Looking for Perfection guides

Does anyone carry the older style Perfection casting/boat rod guides? The ones with the clear/ dye able shock ring and ceramic inserts. Custom Tackle Supply used to carry them but they've now turned over everything to Mudhole Custom Tackle. I promised a customer that I would try to refinish a handful of older custom made rods to "as new" and I'm having a problem finding these guides. Any help appreciated.

Ken,
Angler's Workshop has always had the Perfections I needed over the years, including the ones you mentioned.

Ken; Don't know if you know but Perfection is now owned by REC Components, a sponsor on the left. You can contact Paul Howarth their product manager at 860 749-3476.

Ken -

Our friends at Tochterman's Tackle have boxes of old guides and I seem to recall some of them were indeed Perfection.

Dear Ken,



These would be either the ACS or the ACG guides with the shock ring inserts.



I am sorry; we do not have any more of these guides.

They have been discontinued for about 18 months.



Thank you,

Dave Lyons

Thanks Jim and Tony.
I'm going to head up to Tochterman's in Baltimore today. If they don't have any I'll give Paul a call at REC.
