Building a 7' bait caster for bass and going with Fugi KW guide train, KB bellys and KT runners.....Fugi LG tip top work?

An LG will work just fine.

TY Norm!!

The Fuji LG is my go to tip top. I would recommend using the Alconite or SiC ring both of high quality. Tip tops take a heck of a beating so I never go lower than Alconite

Alconite. I just got an update that the KB's are out of stock and can't be backordered.

What size, frame color, and ring material are you trying to buy? Can always try a different frame color.
Norm

KW 10, KW 5.5, 2/3 KB 5's and 5 runners. All CC silver alconite. But, KB's out of stock. Thinking of going to the 4.5's.

I mostly use KB/KT 4.5 runners, but you can use all KT 5s and use a locking wrap, or use a 5.5 KB, or change your frame color to BC, which is my favorite, or try another vendor.

Well, I looked at the BC. Havn't used those before but they would look good with the Curado reel. I'll take another look. Is there enough difference between the 4.5 and the 5 to matter?

Not a lot of difference between the 4.5 and 5. I Really can’t tell much, if any, performance difference between them. I do use braid with a leader connected via an FG knot. If you are using a larger knot a size 5 might be a little better.

Switching to the BC found the 4.5 KT out of stock. LOL

I appreciate that Norm. I'm awaiting 2 spin rods and a fly rod I'm building, these were ordered 2 weeks ago and I already have all the components ready to go for these rods. There's no fire for this PB build.
