was planning on using ring guides all the way with a roller tip.. what u think?
unsure on guide sizes was looking at 16, 12, 12, 10, 10 then tip.... too big?

plan on using them for small billfish ..

thanks again

I've done the same set-up, but with a larger stripper, just because of the height of the reel. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT TOP! All American's "@#$%&" tops are the only ones that will work "up side down". Sizing may be a little limited in your light application. They offer #9, #10, #11, #12, #14, #16 & #18.

With a #16 for a butt guide I'd use 16, 12, 10's to the tip. This is assuming an 8 is too small & you need a 10 to pass the knots in your terminal rig. If an 8 is large enough, 16, 10, 8's to the tip. Ralph

If at first you don't succeed, go fishing, then try, try again.
