which is the lightest ? PacBay CMSG#20 or TMZ#20 ...

Hello .

I'm Looking for an cheaper alternative to the fuji T-KLSG#20 ( $33.5 ) .

I have the PacBay CM4CG#20 ( 2.31g) , but i don't want guide without ceramic .
Both other PacBay , new TMZ#20 (weight 2.5g ) and CMSG#20 seem to match my need .

I think i would take the lightest .

CMSG would be a great option , as i would like to bend the frame to match the height of the Fuji T-KLSG # 20 (46.5mm)
Not sure that titanium alloy from TMZ would accept this treatment like steel from CMSG ...

But i am a hunter of unnecessary weight.
And i would like to avoid having to take two guide at a time ...

Any input ?

Thanks .

D.

Hi Didier,
In addition to that you could check out the SCXOLSG guides from DBlue. They are a strong single footer which are titanium coated stainless and a very similar shape to the T-KLSG's. There is very little on the website about them at this time so you would need to contact them to find out more.

Hello .

Thanks for this advice .
If i'm correct , the height of the SCXOLSG#20 is only 34mm ( size 25 is 45mm ) . Not enough for my need .
TMZ#20 and CMSG #20 are said to be 46.5 mm height , which corresponds to the way I build my rods.

Then i'm going to ask to my dealer . Not sure he knows their weight , but may be he can say which is the lightest ?

Thanks .

D .
