Fuji has their guide heights available on the web and Baston publishes a catalog giving their guide heights as well. But I can't find anything listed for American Tackle's guides. Are they listed anywhere? Thanks.

Tim,

Hate to jump in here since you were the one who started this thread, but....

Is there also any info (manufacturer or personal) on heights of the American Tackle titanium NIV series guides, especially the larger sizes that might be used to start a heavy-duty spinning rod before going to smaller single-leg A-frames?

Thanks in advance from both Tim and I.

Am Tack's guides, except the Titans, are the same height as the Forecast, older style Fujis & Pac bay guides. The Titan guides are taller, but not as tall as a Fuji concept like the Alconites, SiC, or Titaniums. The "M" guides from Forecast, Pac Bay, Sevier are taller still for the same size rings. Heavy duty is relative depending on the species and environment. I rarely use single "A" frames on the tip of a rod anymore, usually ceramic fly guides because of the weight savings and the decrease in inventory needed to keep on hand. Can use them on fly rods, casting and spinning rods.
