Does anyone know where I can find some BLACK Perfection Carbide guides? Looking to have an old school EGlass rod redone and would like to upgrade to some newer components. Thanks.

Thanks. Is there any specific set of guide sizes to use for a 7' rod that I plan on using 40-50# on?

20-16-14-12-10-10-10 would work, 20-16-14-12-10-9-9-8 or you could use a set of Fuji BNLGH which stand up well ,what sort of a blank is it?

Your guess is as good as mine on the blank. No markings whatsoever on the rod. It was passed down to me. Brown blank (not honey) with a chrome "Varmac LW3" seat. It's a heavy rod compared to the new tech out today with a Medium to MH action.

Plan on using it for flylining heavier game. With that said, would 20-16-14-12-10-10-10 work better if I'm using 40-50# with fluoro leaders? Thinking of the knot issue passing through guides.

Thanks for all of the help.
