I was at an antique mall and came across a unique rod. It was solid glass wooden handle rod about 6 foot. The unique part was guides. The guides were built like old mildrum rollers but the were not roller had a solid center with hole for line to go thru. No rings or inserts. Sorry no pics they didn't allow photos. Has anyone ever seen guides like that.

Do you happen to know the name of guides. I can't even find pics on internet. Thanks you.

Sound like you are talking about bridge guides which may or may not have four "feet"

Thanks everyone for replies. Just been able to check replies today. It does look almost identical to the bridge guide.
