Need help on a guide replacement

Customer brought me a Ugly Stick SP1166-1MH spinning rod with double foot guides for repair. The #25 guides is broken and I am not having too much success locating an exact match. It is black with a thin chrome ring. The closest I have seen is the Pac Bay minima 3 but the frame is slightly different. If anyone can point me in the right direction on this it would be greatly appreciated.

Tom,

The guides that you pictured in the photos is a knockoff of a Minima in a TV frame. To my knowledge the maker of this imitation guide has never offered any guides for sale in the USA or Europe. As far as a replacement guide goes your best bet would be a Black Framed Hard Chrome Ringed Minima Guide. The PacBay Minima part number would be BTV3XG25 for a size 25 ring. They can be ordered through any PacBay dealer.

Vic that is great information and I appreciate your reply. When looking at guides online I saw that one, I will check it out on Mudhole as I have some other items in my cart there.

Thanks
Tom
