Quick take
A 26-piece or 130-piece kit of micro stainless steel rod guides with ceramic rings for repairing or building lightweight fishing rods.
This 26-piece micro guide and tip kit pairs stainless steel frames with ceramic rings, aimed at refitting baitcasting rods with smaller, lighter guides. The guides fit rod blanks with an inner diameter of 1.5 to 6.8 mm, and the tip tubes take 1.2 to 2.0 mm. Check your rod's tip and blank sizes before ordering, since the sizes are small. It suits anglers rebuilding or repairing a bass-style casting rod.
