I have a vintage Garcia rod that needs two guides replaced. I can't determine what kind of guides are on this rod. I've contacted Garcia but they could not help nor can I find these guides in any catalogs. It’s a salt water rod, 7 ½ ft. spinning rod made by Garcia. The model is a Conolon, B552-D. The guides are double foot, have a chrome, unbraced frame with a brown color shock rings. I also need a tip top for this rod. The one that is on it does not appear to be the original top. If anyone has these guides or can help identify them I’d appreciate it.

I was able to post a photo of the guide. If you need more pictures email me. One guide that I need which still has the ring measures 18.85mm which should be the guide size. The second is larger and it measures approximately 21.00mm. the picture of the largest guide that is shown in the photos measures 30.00mm. The size 30 is a braced frame, but the rest of the guides on the rod are unbraced.

Thanks for your help,
Jim

Jim, They look like SACGR or SACS guides that were sold by Sevier,CUI, Neals,ect.
I do not have size 18. I do have sizes 30,20,16, and smaller.

They could even be Perfection guides with the shock rings dyed brown.
