Hello,
I'm planning to replace my older single snake guides on my IMX 5wt 9ft rod after heavy using streamer fishing with the sinking line and find some groove on them.Thinking to order Minima 3 guides from Meadows,but they have the smallest size 6.is the size 6 is not to big for the 5wt blank,and not over weighting it,or i have to go for size 4 or 5.
The second i planing to order Lorhic 9.6 6wt 3pc and put alconites on it.what size of guides do i need?
Cheers,
Andy.

Phone John up at Meadows - he will tell you what you need and then sell them to you
