I've got a buddy who lost a runner on a Dobyns Champion XP (believe it's the crankbait series, though I think the whole series is consistent) and with all of the issues shipping rods lately, he'd rather not risk sending it back to Dobyns for repair so asked me if I'd be willing to replace the guide for him. I know the guides are black Alconites which are discontinued, but fortunately still easy enough to get hold of. The problem is that not having the rod in hand I'm not sure what size the runners are. Of course I want to make sure to match the size on them, and I'd like to get the guide ordered so I can do it quickly when I get hold of the rod, plus I've got another order ready to go so I can just include the guide for his repair in that order to avoid extra shipping.
Does anybody happen to know what size runners this series of rods has on it? I'm guessing they're size 5 and I'll likely grab both a 5 and 5.5 just to try to be safe, but if anyone happens to know for sure it'd be incredibly helpful to make sure I've got what I need to do the repair.
