Friends:
I am looking for a heavy duty SIC boat guide in gold color in size 12, and a tips around 16-18. The frame style is the Pac Bay BBHG. I know the Fuji SIC golds were discontinued years ago, but might anyone have any lurking around that they'd want to part with? My objective is to round out a set..... An alternative is to take a BBHG guide and paint it gold in color. Has anyone painted a guide this way, with any success? This is for a land based shark rod. Warm regards, Whit Re: Gold SIC Boat guides and Tips, or painting a guide to match?

I doubt very much that any paint would work for a guide. However, one can always test and try.
But, I suspect that gold plating would work just fine: [www.wikihow.com] Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 07/26/2013 09:38AM by roger wilson. Re: Gold SIC Boat guides and Tips, or painting a guide to match?

Fuji gold IG guides are available from several tackle and rod building dealers in Japan. Re: Gold SIC Boat guides and Tips, or painting a guide to match?

I think I have the old Pac Bay ones in gold - I'll check it out on Monday and see if I have a 12. Re: Gold SIC Boat guides and Tips, or painting a guide to match?
