Recoil Guides

[zelmo]

Do recoil guides use the same sizing chart as regular guides?  I broke one on a NRX and need to find a replacement.  Mudhole wants as much to ship one as the guide itself so I want to get it right the first time.

NRX, as in Loomis?  I would ask them what to use.  

 

But in response to your question, "regular" (ceramic ring) guides are specified by the OD of the ring.  I expect but do not know that Recoil specifies by the ID of the wire, so tough call.  Maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in.  

 

 

On thinking this over, I think that if you gave Mudhole the ID of the Recoil they could match it.  But I still think that Loomis can and will answer the question.

Did you go to the REC site and look at the info there?

Thanks.  I posted this because I couldn't get through to Shimano/Loomis customer service.  I finally sucked it up and stayed on hold for a very long time but eventually I got to the head of the queue.   They are sending me a guide at no charge.

For many companies I think their "customer service" should be called "customer frustration."  One that I've found easy to contact and their reps are knowledgeable- Humminbird.
