tholmes Posted October 5, 2017 Posted October 5, 2017 I have an old Lightning Rod that's missing a guide, the one right below the tip. I can handle the replacement, but how do I know what ring size to buy? Do I measure I.D., O.D. or something else? The I.D. of the guide measures 4mm. The guides on the rod are Berkeley SS304. Thanks!

Super User webertime Posted October 5, 2017 Super User Posted October 5, 2017 Measure outside to outside diameter and inside to inside. Quote
Super User S Hovanec Posted October 5, 2017 Super User Posted October 5, 2017 guides with ceramic inserts are sized by the ID of the guide frame. I'm not sure how the metal insert guides like the SS-304/Minimas are sized. Quote
tholmes Posted October 5, 2017 Author Posted October 5, 2017 Thanks guys! I'll get the O.D. measurements and go from there. If it's a mm off one way or the other, that won't matter much. The rod is one that I carry in my truck for lunch break fishing, so it's not a showpiece by any means. Function over form and all of that. Tom 2 Quote
