Alps LF Spinning Guides - size 20 question

Been using a lot of the LF guides and they are really nice. Mostly on lighter spinning stuff, running a 20-12-8-6's.
My question is how heavy of a rod has anyone built using a size 20 butt guide? Really wondering how large of a reel or line anyone has run like this with good performance. The vast majority of what I do is Pfleuger size 25 reels (1000-1500 size equivalent), and mono no heavier than 0.010" dia. (6-8#). Thanks, Marc Re: Alps LF Spinning Guides - size 20 question

Just make sure you have it spaced far enough from the face of the reel so as not to "choke it". Best wishes, Ron Schneider Schneider's Rod Shop Mountain Home, Arkansas [www.schneidersrods.com] mtnron40@yahoo.com 870-424-3381 Re: Alps LF Spinning Guides - size 20 question

Marc,
Try a 20, 10, 5.5 then your runners for the smaller reels. I have used this setup down to 2.0 mm runners and it casts very very well in my opinion. If you are using line larger than 12 lb I would suggest either 2.5 or 3mm runners. Tom Re: Alps LF Spinning Guides - size 20 question

I'm with Thomas!!
using that set up will greatly improve your rod's performance Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
