Going to build a spinning rod with k series guides from fuji. Is my layout the same as on the concepts that I've built before. Rod is going to be a 7'6" med. fast. 8 to 10 pound line will be used on these rods but wondering if any one has used the guides yet?

I've used them on a bunch of rods at this point and they are excellent in every way. Definitely my favorites.

Black holds up better, but stainless is fine. Just be sure to rinse VERY well on EVERY use.
