REC Componets Recoil guide heights

Does anyone have guide heights for the Recoil guides? Specifically the spinning guides. Can't find it on google, Mudhole only publishes the OD, and the REC site is unavailable at the moment.

There is no chart, they are a little bit shorter than the Fuji LV guides. Set up using those specs and you should be fine.

Thanks Herb. If you could get me the height on the 16, 12, and 10 that would be very helpful.

Using the LV guide chart and trying to adapt this to the REC guides using a KR-ish layout, does this sound reasonable?

20lb braid reduction train 30, 20, 8
30lb braid reduction train 40, 20, 8

I was thinking 25 instead of 20 for the 30lb layout, but on the LV chart that's ~8mm taller.

If you really want to try a KR-like spinning set up with really light guides don’t use large ring low height LV-like recoil guides, try using PacBay Minima 4 guides with a titanium Tiblack frame, less expensive than the recoils. Use the Match (M) guides for the reduction train and the fly (F) guides for runners. The M guides are very similar in height to the Fuji KR KLH guides. For 15-20 braid with a 3000 reel use M20, M10, and M6 or M5 for the reduction train followed by F5, or F4 runners. For heavier line or larger reel use M25, M12, and M6 or M5 followed by the F runnners. For light line and smaller reel use M16, M8, and M5 with the F runners. Set up is exactly the same as with the Fuji KR guides. Could also use the Fuji KR guides which are a little heavier, and both give excellent.results.

I used the Pac Bay Minima 4 guides, M16, M8, M5 followed by 3 runners. Really happy with the results, thanks again for the advice!
