Spiral Spring Guides?

Is it still possible to buy the old Fenwick type spiral spring guides? Not sure what they are actually called but Fenwick used to put them on UL rods in the 70's and 80's. Wire, wound, spiral looking.

They are probably the "FoulProof" guides.
We still have some in stock, very limited supply.
Here is a link, look at the bottom of the page.

I have one of those fenwick rods. EVA grips, aluminum reel seat, and foulproof guides makes for a very un-ultra light lookin rod. However it has been a favorite of mine for a very log time.

I'd suggest you take a look at REC recoil guides too. One of these days I'll rebuild mine and probably go with pac bay minima's.
