I am looking for a size 6 running guide and the type is uxmltsg according to customer service. I googled it and came up empty. Does anyone know what it means and how to find it?

They have not yet responded with the name of the manufacturer. It is for a abu garcia casting rod.

What was rod model? Was it a ceramic or non-ceramic guide? It seems that others have had a hard time matching guides for Abu Garcia rods.

It took a while, but they finally responded:


"The only other information for the guides is "smoke titanium colored frame with TiO2 insert". No vendor specified. You might try finding them online at places such as Mudhole, Jann's Net Craft and other rod component companies."

Does anyone know what manufacturers uses Titanium Oxide (TiO2) inserts? I seems to have trouble narrowing down the search.
