If you went to the link to Plat, the video shows 170 lb PE line and 220 lb mono leaders being used. Depending on the length of your leader, 16 rings might be nice for knots that size. The LC guides are desined for long distance casting with PE lines and their tendency to do odd things around guides and tip tops.

Hello,

Thanks for sharing. 20/16's out to the tip sounds like a very specialized set-up and may have a limit to which reels, knots, and leaders will work. FG knot is very smooth and compact so I can see how it could work with a #20 stripper. The only GT popping rods I've seen use Fuji MNAG's in a traditional set-up. I would love to see the rod you describe in action. Perhaps you could run this by the staff of GT Fightclub, they would definitely have the knowledge and experience to answer your questions.

What happened OP?
Why did you take your post down?
I thought it was interesting. Sorry I couldn't specifically answer your questions regarding guide setup.
I'm not well-versed in GT popping rods, which is why I referred you to the person/persons who are...
