Hi guys in the process of building a 7 foot drop shot rod, and another as a finesse rod - both foot to be used with Pflueger Supreme reels in the 30 size. I plan on using about a 10 pound braid with a short flouro leader. My question is, what type of Guide would be recommended, these will both be spinning rods. I want a sensitive guide, that will hold up to potential braid usage, and wont add a ton of weight. I looked into some of the Alconite guides from Fuji, and a few others. Any recommendations on guides and sizes or potential set-ups would be helpful.

Minima 4 Match frame 16/8/5 then Fly frame size 3 thru tip ;-)

I use 2 mm guides on drop shot rods.
If using short leaders no problem with worrying about knots going through guides. Batson's are my guide of choice

Jay ,
Basically any guides of any size and style will hold up to your needs just fine.

Eric's advice is excellent.

Any info on the Fuji K series guides?

Heavier than Minima 4.
But High 16/8/5.5 then KT4 thru top is fine too.

Why not the Titans from American Tackle? They are titanium and really light. I use them a lot and never have any problems with them, great guides.

price the minimas are a lot cheaper

I just picked up a small set

I like them Size 5 I like the way the ring fits around the frame And as light as a feather
