I recently was given a rod to repair two broken guides but I can't find these particular guides anywhere. Does anyone know what guides are on a Rapala SNC30DR86L2 Sportsmen Classic Downrigger? Muskyfsh Re: Guides on Rapala rod

I only fish one Rapala downrigger rod, have no idea if they have different models, it was all Fuji components, it used the old Fuji Hardloy guides. Re: Guides on Rapala rod

Jeff,
When I run into a situation like yours, I simply find a guide type that is reasonably close to what is on the rod and then, strip the current guides off the rod, and tie on a new set of guides with a matching tip top. It only takes about 10 minutes to strip off a set of guides and 30 minutes to tie a new set back on. So, a lot easier to just put on a fresh set of matching guides than lose sleep over trying to match something from years ago. Best wishes. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
