I have a Garcia 2110t rod to repair that is in need of a white agate guide. It is approx, 18 mm tall with an od of approx. 10,5.
I loaded a couple of pictures in the misc.catagory.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks Ricky

I've seen those in the past but don't have any on hand. Hopefully someone else will see it and be able to help you out. Dennis Danku is a possibility.

Ricky,
A nice thing you could do, would be to strip the rest of the guides off the rod and put in a current set of guides on the rod.

These guides may be available somewhere, but todays new guides are much much lighter.

Be safe

Like said
try to get the owner to go for a rewrap instead of driving yourself crazy looking for those guides

Or let him go Rod can not be worth that much
