The BLAG will work just like any other Alconite guide with braid. That's what I use.

I'm unclear on why you are using that guide setup. Is this casting or spinning?

spinning. I like to use double foots for the gathering guide and often the next guide after that, then transition to single foot guides. I like the height of the yag's for transition guides, but not as running guides I have heard people say that the braid tends to wrap around the blag's because of the design of the frame. I was thinking of try unag's, but I wanted to see what others suggested
