American Tackle guide heights

I'm curious if anyone knows where I can find a chart for the heights of American Tackle guides? In particular, the TiForged TS-H high frame spinning guides, and the TS spinning guides? I've always used KR concept guide trains using Fuji KL-H guides on the spinning rods I've built and they cast beautifully. I thought I might try the American Tackle versions, but I want to be sure that their heights are the same as, or very close to those of the Fuji's.

I've tried looking in the American Tackle catalog in the link to the left, but I can't find a chart listing their heights. I'd also be interested in the heights of the TiForge double foot casting rod guides to see how they compare to Fuji KW guides.

And in case I can't be pointed to a chart of some sort, the guide heights I'd be interested in from American Tackle would be the TS-H 20H, the TS-H 10H, and the TS 5.5M. As well as the TiForged TDF 10, TDF 8, and TDF 6.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a link to American Tackle guide specifications. You have to scroll down to the guides you are interested in.

SeaGuide also has KR-like guides that will also work.

Norman, you are da man !!!! Thank you very much sir.


And now I feel more than a bit silly for not noticing the sizing spec link at the top of the product listing chart.

Thanks again !!!!
