Your not going to get any lighter than SF wire fly guides, Tich coated. They make them pretty small also if you able to get away with a sz 4 ceramic ring now, a Sz 1 SF wire fly guide would be about the same dia with a larger opening and lighter than the ceramic ringed 4

I don't see how a high framed "M" guide saves weight from the intersect/choke guide to the tip. Mighs help prior to that but still the spool on a UL REEL sits very close to the blank in the 1st place. More guide more weight and I thought he was asking about lightening things up?
