I have a 30lb class blank which I had hoped to fit with AFTCO lightweight roller guides. The final two rollers AL-3-G and AL-2-G are too small to fit on the blank properly. Is it OK to continue to the tip with AL-4-G or should I not use the roller guides and go for standard suitable rings throughout? Thanks in anticipation. Re: Roller guides on 30lb class rod

For a 30lb. rod I would think those (2 & 3) would be to big for the tip section. The lightweight guides have a concave foot that must be matched to the diameter of the blank. Plus an underwrap must be used and also factored into the diameter of the rod. Re: Roller guides on 30lb class rod

I use these guides all of the time. If the diameter of the blank is too large for the 2 or 3 then go with the 4's it won't be a problem. also on those guides I don't use an under wrap and have neverhad a problem. I do however under wrap the double footed 1st guide. Scott Re: Roller guides on 30lb class rod
