    Duckett Micro guides

    While I tried to talk him in to replacing all the guides, I'm just replacing a running guide on a Micro guide Ghost rod, not a micro magic rod,don't know if they are the same or not.
    Can anybody help me on the manufacture of the guides and sizing please, Thanks

    You can call BD and they will help you out with the size,What I have been doing is replacing all the micro guides with a larger set , getting old and trying to run line thru those small guides can be a challenge.

    Duckett Rods have there owe proprietary guides. I would just use Fuji micro.

    If you call Duckett and tell them what you have, they will send you the guides for free, at least they have for me a couple of times I have done repairs. They have sent more than I needed both times as well.

    You're better off replacing them all with Fuji. They don't do a very good job wrapping them and I don't think the frames are very stout. I've replaced a ton of guides on Ducketts, they just pull out easy. If you need a couple of the Duckett guides shoot me a PM, pretty sure I have some broken Ducketts in the corner of my shop...I could pull some off and mail them to you

    Proprietary crap. Just replace it with an Alconite.
