Hello All.

How about a picture?
I have a bunch of old stock guides but "#20 braced carbide guide" is not much to go on.

We have a size 20 braced carbide guide.

ALPS CWB - [alpsforecast.com]
ForCast HCB - [alpsforecast.com]

Anyone of our dealers can get them for you, may just have to call them up as it might not be kept in stock by them.

Hello Richard.

If your guide is like the Alps or the Forecast James is showing, the nearest thing I have is more like the Pacific Bay XBG and Jann's carries them (The ones I have are Non Braced in a 22 and 24), so good luck in finding what you need.

Bob:
They appear to resemble Pac Bay Model CSBB Carbide Boat guides, Pac Bay only makes up to size #18, the rods I am repairing are Tsunami Trophy Series Wire trolling rods and are not a custom built rods.
Thanks for the come back !

Hello Richard.

I'm not sure but I "think" that they must have been a one off for Tsunami so no one can copy their rods but Utmost has the Alps CWBBG-20's, you could look at one and see if that might work.

Let us know what (if anything) you find or do please.

Thank You.
