Needed: Holographic Fly Guide Set
Posted by: Mike Ediger (---.spkn.qwest.net)

I think most people have discontinued the fly holographic guides. Any vendor or individual have a fly set or even individual guides? I can piece together a set if necessary. I am building a 7'7" 3 wt.
I need a 4.5 tip top.
9 single foot guides, fairly small
1 small stripper

Thanks for any help or leads.

Thanks Josh, it is the metal that I was looking for, and I just looked on @#$%& and only one option and they are too big.
Still looking.

Mike,
I don't see what I am looking for, am I missing something? Maybe I need to be more specific. I am looking for single foot wire guides. I don't think mudhole has any, at least not what I can see.
By the way, I am talking about the Pac Bay Illusion color. Some call them holographic. Same thing I believe.

Thanks Ron. I will call on Monday.

Thanks for the link Bill, but while there are a lot of single foot wire guides, to my knowledge, no one is producing them in the illusion/holographic color which is why I am having a hard time finding them.
However, I have several leads that I think will work out.

Thanks everyone.
Mike

Try a Google Search and see if you come up with any ?

Call several of the suppliers on the left. They may have some . But you may not see them on there sites.

Thanks Carlos. I will put them on the list.

Thanks for the ideas Bill. I have done both, with no success. However, I now have 3-4 leads which I will follow up on Monday. I knew it would be an individual or small shop that just had something left over, which is why this is a great resource.

Thanks to everyone. I will post another reply if I get it all worked out.

if you can not find any wire maybe you could use the spinning and fly ceramic. Plenty in the Holographic
