Anyone know what the guides are on a Fenwick MHX66M-FS are? Fairly certain they are Fuji but would like expert opinion and I know many of you are experts.Even if they are Fuji I'm not familiar enough to know which style. Thanks in advance.

Looking at the description and pictures for the Fenwick HMX 66M-FS, it states sloped 316 stainless steel guides with zirconium inserts are used. If they are in fact sloped zirconium stainless guides they are not Fuji guides, but probably SeaGuide XOG guides.

Looks like they are SeaGuide guides. The following was copied from the description for the Fenwick HMX spinning rods.
