Micro Guide Supplier

Looking for someone who carries 2 foot micro guides in sizes 5.5, 5, 4.5 and 4. The Style is like American Tackle HLCC or Pac Bay Model T. I have been getting Garcia rods that need guide replacement. American Tackle does carry a fly rod guide in a 5 but Mud Hole does not carry it. I would like to find all sizes someplace. Does anyone have experience finding these?

took a look at their line of rods and they use several different style guides from several MFG's. you would have to at least post the rod series so it could be looked at and then maybe the guide can be found in the aftermarket so you can complete the repairs

I've been trying to get them as well for repairs. Even call Abu Garcia about the matter. Was told they have none in stock for sale and are being made exclusively just for Abu. Good luck hope you find the Chinese manufacturer that makes these though.

it appears to me to be a Fuji K-Series Double-Foot Casting & Spinning Guides Model KW sic getting them smaller than 5 is going to be the hard part

A couple of years ago I contacted ABU Garcia about their guides. I was told that there made in China and they don't bring any into the US for parts. They told me to match up as best you can.
