Happy New Year to you all. Looking for guide suggestions on a new build for the north fork SW 765 LMX rated 1/2-3oz. Plan to use it primarily as a boat rod for stripers, bluefish, and topwater blackfin (to around 20 lbs), AJs. Will be using shimano 5-6K , braid 30-50 lb, to a short 50 lb fluoro leader (2-3 ft). I'm torn between using double foot fuji KW for the reduction guides then KB/KT 6 or 7 or the single foot KR concept.
And last question. Some confusion on my part with the PE rod ratings. What PE would this be considered? Thanks in advance for the input. -Mark Re: Guide train suggestions

I would opt for the KW unless casting distance is critical. And with a possible 50 braid to 50 fluoro leader knot I might even consider KW all the way to the top. KB all the way at the very least. Re: Guide train suggestions

Thank you Jim. The decision to use the KWs makes good sense the more I thought about it following your post. I'll have the peace of mind given the application intended. Thank you again.

Hi Mark,
I am delighted to see that someone else has purchased the NFC SW 765 LMX for striper fishing! After extensive research, I decided this rod would be best suited for my intended application and would fill out my rod collection nicely. I recently purchased two of these which I will be building as boat rods for fishing striper - both tossing large plugs and using live bait. I am curious how you like them? And what application you think their best suited for? I have a few months until I need to finish the build and I'm trying to sneak in a little more research. Thank you!
