Title: Ripple Fisher 79r Guide Sizes
Post by: Jaime Chee on September 14, 2011, 10:13:49 AM

Hi guys

I have a a ripple fisher 79r that has been damaged and needs to get the guides replaced . I need to order in the guides so i was wandering if anybody with the rod could help me out with he sizes. The guide 2nd from top is ripped off and 2nd from the bottom is bent.

cheers guys

Hi Jamie, I am not familiar with the rod but if it has fuji guides then it should have the size stamped on one of the support legs. That should help for the bent one, which I presume would be a 30J. As for the one ripped off I presume it would be a 16J. Ti, stainless or smoke frames?
Post us a pic.
Oh when you say 2nd from the top are you counting the tip guide or not?
Fish head should have one in stock (rod that is) maybe give them a call?

Warwick is correct - you will need a 30 and a 16 and depending on age of the rod, either a MNSG or E-MNSG
