    Default Guide diameters

    I am going to build a 7'9" 3wt. for my buddy's 50th birthday. Over the years, as I've built a few rods, I've accumulated odds and ends of components here and there when I found a bargain. I have a few reel seats, grips, winding checks, hook keepers, and guides (both single foot and snake), etc. stashed away.

    To make a long story short, is there a chart or something that will tell me the inside diameter of the various sizes of guides? For example, what are the diameters of a #1/0 guide, a #1 guide, a # 2 guide, etc., etc?

    I can find all sorts of guide SPACING charts but no luck finding out the diameters of various numbered guides.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

    Thanks Brad. That's exactly what I was looking for. Wonder why I couldn't find that on my own?

    The Mudhole Catalog has measurements on their site.
