Which Seaguide running guide is equivalent to the Fuji KT5 and KB5? Is KB5 or KT5 = 5mm in height? I plan to use it on my 7 ft casting rod. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/09/2020 02:12AM by Johnny Tan. Re: Question about Seaguide running guides

The SeaGuide XOG-N and XOG-W are the Fuji KT and KB equivalents, respectively. The size 5 refers to the outside diameter of the ceramic ring in mm, not the height of the guide.

I prefer the word "similar" to equivalent. ;) Re: Question about Seaguide running guides

Hi Jim,
You're right, I should use 'similar'. Sorry about it. Re: Question about Seaguide running guides

Johnny,
My question is why would you even consider using Sea Guide?? With the level of quality found in guides made by Fuji and A/T it's a no brainer to fly with the big boys. There is hardly any price difference to do so. With a very large portion of my business being rod repairs I have never once had a rod brought to me with Sea Guides on it. And I agree with Jim similar not equal. Tom tomscustomrods.com Re: Question about Seaguide running guides

Hi Tom,wondering what you mean by big boys?
I would wager Seaguide made more guides than every factor with exception of Fuji. I would also wager we made more guides last month than A/T sourced last year. If you don't know anything about our guides why would you comment? St.Croix, G. Loomis, Edge, Lamiglas, Orvis, Winston, Scott Fly, etc are our partners. Re: Question about Seaguide running guides

Brand loyalty is great until you get poked in the eye. How many times have you placed an order to restock your guide bins and be told that guide has been discontinued by the manufacture and your stuck with dead stock.There's rods coming in the door that still have those guides but if you don't have the one it needs what do you do ask the person if he'll accept a substitute.

Sure makes me want to take a closer look at their products. Re: Question about Seaguide running guides

How many guides do you plan to put on that little thing? Seven inches is a short casting rod where I fish. Re: Question about Seaguide running guides

My bad, I meant 7 ft rod. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
