Looking for guide

Guys, trying to find guides for a repair. Have recently been getting in a few of these rods and am not familiar with a supplier that carries the guides that match. The rods are Shimano Sojourn, the guides are single foot, larger than micro, have more of an angle than fly guides. Any idea who carries these?

Thanks,

Walt Davenport

don't have photo at the moment, if you look up the rod online there are pretty good pics. Shimano lists these guides as "low profile aluminum oxide"

Thanks,

Is it the Sojourn spinning rod or the casting rod?

Bill, single foot guides that look like fly guides, but i haven't found a match. These guides are leaning well forward, i can get something close but was hoping to locate the actual thing. I usually stick with Fuji replacements on all my repair work when I can because I've never had one come back. I don't like to spend a lot of research time on oddball guides but feel i owe it to the client to repair his rod back to original as closely as possible.This on'e probably going to wind up with a close but not exact Fuji Fly guide.

Thanks for the reply

When I hear you say "leaning forward", is it a BLDBAG?

Here is the link on Mudhole's site for that one: [www.mudhole.com]
