trying to find the top to match a set of k series fuji guide. the guide is a gunsmoke titanium with SiC inserts. usually mudholes catalog will tell you what top matches but they do not with this product. any help is appreciated. Also what size butt guide would anyone reccomend for a OFS 55, aprox. 65 mm across the spool (diameter).

that would be ok Except that the guides i have are a gunsmoke color and that guide is bright titanium. in my opinion they all need to match. I'm just kinda ocd about that though. a little more... the tip size is an 11 and the ring size needs to be a 12. gonna be used for vertical jigging if that explains anything.

Unless I am wrong ... you have Gunsmoke Stainless. For the Gunsmoke Stainless SiC match you are looking for MGST.

WES, I think JIM is correct, I've been using K guides, both Tit. w/ Alconite & SIC, FUGI Gunsmoke SS is what you want. I used Merrick tackle whole sale price list to find guide numbers, you need to call to get on-line price list, if you are a whole sale customer.

the guides i have/using are kwsg's and everything i have seen so far is either too dark or light to match up. thanks though for the suggestions. just wish mud-hole was open so i could just call and see if there is an exact match lol.
