It's a fate casting in white, with micro guides. 1 is bad and shaving the line, so I need to change it, when I figure out which one. They are really small micro guides so can't see any cracks. Any help on what brand guides they use will help.
Thank you

Take a Q-tip and push it in and turn it around in each guide ring. If there is a sharp edge or crack it will capture a piece of cotton when you pull the swab out. You can also cut a strip of nylon pantyhose and run it through and around the rings. It will catch on any imperfection.

An eye loop may help especially after wiping the guide with a Q-tip.

If you can't find any chips or cracks I would check the reel spool, roller or line guide.

Have fun

They may or may not tell you about the guides used!

13 uses Fuji guides, the Fate in particular uses Fuji Alconite according to the description on Tackle Warehouse

Thank you everyone I will check them out

The other thing you can do it to simply take an exacto standard triangle shaped blade in a standard blade holder.

Simply insert the blade into each side of each guide and while maintaining very light pressure on the blade, spin it around. If there is an issue with a guide, the blade will hang up at the defect.

Even extreme pressure of an exacto blade on any ceramic lined guide will have 0 effect on the guide.
