Ross,
Why don't you just get the guides replaced. I have had it done on more the
one occasion. There are many places around tampa tha build costom rods. Any
of them would be happy to do it for you. I would guess for alot less then a
new rod. If you are determined to buy a new rod i would send you to Dogfish
Tackle Shop at 17477 Gulf Boulevard Redington Shores, Florida 33778 (727)
392-6644. http://www.dogfishtacklecompany.com They would even be happy to
fix the rod you have.
