Guide recommendations?

I am rebuilding a Fenwick HMXS 83ML and would like to know if someone has a good recommendation for replacement guides? Customer doesn't want anything real expensive, but also wants something similar to the factory single foot gold ring guides that it came with. Does anyone have an idea of what to use on this rod? It's a spinning rod 8' 3". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dave,

Does it have these guides? [www.jannsnetcraft.com]

Other than those and possibly the Pac Bay minimas that are similar in design, I can't think of too many ceramic ring options that don't come in pretty expensive.

A lot of the Fenwick rods come with Pac Bay guides. Maybe something in the SV series will match what he wants.

The ones at jannsnetcraft look very similar. Those should work fine and I'm going to look at those Pac Bay guides again. Thanks for the help guys.

The batson VS3 guides work very very well and are extremely tough.
