Usually i can figure things out on google, but I cannot get the diameter matched to the size of the ring.

I need the first Rod Guide on this 9 ft rod.

Before it broke, i am guessing that it was anywhere from 1.7 inches to 2.2 inches.

anyone know what size guide that is? or do you have a suggestion on what size to replace it?

Details.
20 lb braid used
will throw 4 oz weight at most
surf cast rod

Also, thanks in advance!

Measure it with a ruler. What's so hard about that?

1" = 25.4 mm so you would need a rod guide from 43 to 56mm

ummmm, okay, the reason i am asking the question, is that it is gone....destroyed.

I wouldn't be asking the question if i could just bring it in and get a new one. I didn't know that you wouldn't get that by saying that I am guessing it is 1.7 to 2.2 in combo with a new line, 20lb braid......get it?

Anyone other than "Chedballz" have an idea on what size rod guide is needed for this? size 40? or 50?

eta, spinning reel
