I had a customer bring me a Cyclone 3240B trolling rod for guide replacement. Bad thing is he removed the guides before bringing it to me. Anyone familiar with this Rod? It is a 6' rod and has 4 guides. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Re: Guide help

Do you have any idea about how old the rod might be? With only 4 rollers, I tend to suspect it may have some knock-off of the old Mildrum side strap type roller guides. It may be very hard if not impossible to replace these with new guides as that style hasn't been made in some years.

Chuck, If the guy is going to fish this rod set it up with guides that will do the job. If its going to be a wall hanger I can help you with thoses guides Tom was speaking of. How about a picture so we can get a idea of how old it is. Dennis J. Danku (Sayreville,NJ) Re: Guide help

Try the following:

Machined Stuart® Aluminum Reel Seats, Graphite Tuff Butts® and Gimbals make these rods a pleasure to fish. Russ in Hollywood, FL. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
