I would like opinions on what would be the best guides to use for an 80# class spiral wrapped rod. This will be my first one. Thanks, MF Re: Best Guides

If you don't use Rollers, then a HD FOLDED-FRAME.
Some guys use Fuji LBSG HD Tri-Leg SF. -Cliff Hall. Re: Determining single vs. double foot guides? Dave Barrett 12-21-05 09:17 [www.rodbuilding.org] "You build bass rods. I build stand up tuna rods. So take that into consideration when I say that any rod to be fished with 80# line or less gets single foot guides. For me that means LBSGs which are SIC heavy duty boat guides. I've fought many tuna using 35# of drag with these guides on a spiral wrapped rod without problem. Since a double foot guide dampens the action of the blank more than a single foot guide, why use the double when its just not needed? There, you have my take, I'm sure others will disagree. Merry Christmas everyone!" ... Dave Barret Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
