Very cool vintage fishing rod. I have seen this style of guides before but not with the brace underneath. I know where you can get those same style guides without the brace on the bottom. They look almost the same but they are missing the brace or wire underneath the ring. They do have the same arch style like McDonald's golden arches. Let me know if you are interested and I will put you in touch with my friend who has those guides, a complete set or more. He has several sets of them.

Hi John, Just emailed you with a couple photos of what I’ve got. Refinished an unlimited Leonard with the same style guides and have 4 of the 5 but only 1 appears unfished. Let me know what you think! Tight lines Nick in NY

Well I found a nice set of guides for the rod "Thanks KIWI Doug !! and Nick" and my buddy and rod builder Dave Turner https://turnerscustomrods.com/ just finished wrapping it and did a beautiful job ! Didn't have much to go on for colors if you look back to the beginning of this post rod was not very good and wraps were bad !! We just picked some earthy not so bright colors and after some trial wraps this is what Dave came up with. The reel is about 14/0 size with 7" side plates and 6.5" width outside the plates. Just thought I would show end results !! The forgrip had a spiral space between felt so Dave used some small linen line to fill space.

Great job fixing up the rod John, I like the subdued colors you used on the wraps and the satin varnish finish. I also like what you did with the foregrip too. That rod and reel combo found its way into the right person's hands. ENJOY!
