Guide size for Abu Veritas?

Hey guys so I am replacing some guides on a 7ft medium spinning Abu Garcia Veritas. I dont have the guides available to measure them as the rod's owner did not keep them when they fell off. They are the first two guides on the bottom end of the rod, closest to the reel seat. Also I am not very sure exactly what guides would be best to use as the replacements. Thanks for the help!

Butt guide is a 20 then 16 looks like from there it chokes to a 10, 4 and last two are 2 to tip this is a 7ft MH and has 7 single foot guides and a tip top. Hope that is some help to you. As far as brand of guides there absolutely no markings at all but I would guess titanium frame with a sic insert.

Cameron,
Generally when I have an issue like this, I just strip off all of the guides and wrap on a new set. That way, it really doesn't matter the type or brand rods that were on the rod originally.

Just put on a set that matches and meets the needs of the client.

Of course, if you can obtain a matching guide or guides; so much the better.

Be safe
