i've got hold of a couple of sets of blue guides from america, and i didn't read the advert properly. i was pleasantly surprised that the box contained three sets, not just the one i was expecting. i actually thought they were bloody expensive for a set of guides, but now the price seems a bit more reasonable. here's a pic :-



i'm going to keep two of the sets for an upcoming build + spares, so i'm happy to give one away to someone with an upcoming build who is looking for something a little different.

the set contains two stripper guides, nine single leg guides, three different sized tips and a folding hook holder. they didn't have a specific make on them, but the only blue guides i can find on the net are from pac bay.

my plan is to use them on a pac bay tradition matte blank, with a cobalt blue reel seat from rod bits, along with a maniform handle (tried them before, very easy on the wrist).

if anybody's interested, pm me. i'd like them to go to somebody who will use them fairly soon and post up some pics on a finished rod , not just put them in their box for a rainy day though.

What a generous offer!!! Top bloke whoever gets them. PM sent Steve, I hope its me. My fist build should give someone a giggle.

Best regards

Rob
