That is very subjective depending on how you are fishing..

I would rate the double foot at 30#... but bass guys will run 80 through them

Around 20 on the single foot but again very subjective...

I would say they are a lite to medium duty guide

These guides are excellent, and there are so many configuration options, they can be matched to any build!

Building with a set of Vortex Air casting guides and although I haven't fished them yet, I am impressed with how light they are and the matte black finish looks great. Can't wait to see how they perform.

I have used these on several build and still have a set for a rod i am reconditing. These guides a lightweight and durable. As others have stated that matte finish really nice and I wish more guides came in the matte finish.
