KVD 7'4 Cranking Rod

Anyone know what type of guide this is? It's on a KVD 7'4 Cranking Rod. All the research online says that it is a Batson Guide XR guide or ALPS LXN Micro guides (aren't these double foots?) Not sure what to think??

Thanks for the help

Check out pg. 132 in the Batson catalog, single foot micro guides.

As Spencer points out they appear to be Batson Alps PMK-Mini guides.

I think the kvd rods use Alps guides, than its an Alps F guide if a size 6 or larger. If it is smaller than a size 6 than it is an Alps mini guide (pmk).

Just to let you know, the guide is an ALPS F Guide in a size 5

We do however have PMK mini guides in smaller sizes
