The Virtus XHD is the answer

The ultimate offshore guide now comes in the ultimate package! The Virtus XHD Black Titan Set packs 6 guides - (1) 20mm, (1) 16mm, (1) 12mm and (3)10mm to give you everything you need for your heavy duty offshore builds.

The ultimate in an XTRA Heavy Duty offshore guide frame, these guides match the style of the classic Virtus guide design adding a #50-#200 Unlimited line rating option to complete the series. Broad thick gauge stainless and solid titanium material frames offer distortion proof durability along with a wide foot design for increased lateral stability. High ring locations clear line from grips and allow better guide train placement making line to blank contact a thing of the past. Ideal for trolling, bait, and rail-rod techniques.

VIRTUS XHD FEATURES:

• Rated #50 - #200 Unlimited

• Elevated Rings to Clear Grips

• RingLock Design Protection

• Wide Foot Design For Stability

• Reduced Overall Footprint

• Xtra Heavy Duty Broad Frames

• Available in 10mm - 20mm

• Stainless and Solid Titanium Frame Options

Hello,
I'm looking to build a west coast rail rod, #130-unlimited.
What are some technical aspects of the newer Virtus UL vs. Virtus XHD?
