    Default Where to buy guides and supplies ?


    Where is the best place to buy quality guides at a good price.
    Some of the places I’ve looked at seem ridiculous on prices.

    Mudhole and Getbitoutdoors normally have most the guides in stock or get them Faster then most retail stores. If my vendor is out of stock, they are normally who I get them from. Guide sets are out of stock almost everywhere, so you will have to look up each guide and order them by what you need. What guides are you looking for?

    Agreed w/ above.

    In addition, MudHole usually seems to have guide sets, more regularly than GetBit.

    A call to either on to see if they have what you are looking for, would work as well.

    I have had great phone support/answered questions from both.

    Thanks for the replies.
    I need 2 guides for my 14 ft crappie pole.
    I thought about replacing all the guides with fly rod guides to give a little more distance from the pole . I’ve started using braid and it sticks to pole when I pitch jigs.

    Just my limited knowledge input; fly guides run pretty close to the blank and snake guides would help the line stick even more.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around

    Brc rods has package fuji titanium frames/torzite rings for $59 per set (12-8-6-4-3 x4). I have bought 6 or 7 sets. The weight of all the guides is 1 gram = 1/30 oz.

    Use Pac bay Minima guides, with or without rings, your choice. 4 mm guides are light and stand a considerable distance from the blank so you should have no line sticking problems, at least I haven't had in the last 35+ years of use.
