I'm looking for a set of vintage / antique roller guides to recreate an old big game bamboo Rod. I would like to find the kind that look like small towers if you've ever seen those. Please let me know if you have anything like that

Martin,
I found these 2 guides on the big internet @#$%& site. Just do a search on the site - "vintage roller fishing rod guides".

[www.rodbuilding.org]

Of course they are not a complete set, but I wondered, if these were the guides that you were looking for?

Be safe

Roger, thank you for the suggestion I have rollers like those. I'm looking for earlier vintage. I have a complete set of very old guides however the foot of each one is curved to fit the contour of a round blank. Since I'm using bamboo I don't think these would work. If you are familiar with the movie jaws, the rollers used on Quints rod are more like what I'm looking for.

Those sound like the old Mildrum rollers. Does each guide have four legs as the framework?
