Guide repair on Loomis GLX

I’m replacing a few damaged guides on an older Loomis GLX MBR844C rod for a customer and I’m not 100% sure of the guide manufacturer or model. The guides look like PacBay LCTVSG but not sure. I did contact Loomis and they said they were REC guides but this rod was built before they started installing REC guides.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank You Lynn Williams Re: Guide repair on Loomis GLX

Before Shimano bought Loomis they use Pac Bay guides on anything I had or have repaired, afterward Fuji ICLNSG I believe, than REC. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/01/2010 10:49PM by Spencer Phipps. Re: Guide repair on Loomis GLX

Lynn,
If you are replacing a "few" damaged guides, why don't you simply strip off all of the guides and replace all of them as a complete set to the style that you like, That way, you don't have to try to match anything. Take care Roger Re: Guide repair on Loomis GLX

Thanks guys!
Roger, I suggested that to the customer but he wants to just replace the damaged guides and use the original guides that came on the rod. Re: Guide repair on Loomis GLX

Lynn,
Why don't you take a couple of pictures of the undamaged guides, with a ruler next to it and post it on the picture side of this forum. Then, give us a link and perhaps someone will have a very good idea of the exact guide. Take care Roger Re: Guide repair on Loomis GLX
