What Fuji Guides on a Light Popping Rod
BriceBludau:
What guides would you guys recommend for a 25-40# popping rod. 7'10" in length? Right now I'm looking at the single foot "K" guides, but I don't know the max limits of the single foots. There's really not a rod like this on the US market right now, so I thought I'd look here for advice.
Thanks in advance
BriceBludau:
I'm actually finding my answer now with the FCL Labo UCB-79, Carpenter Black Current BC79-LR, Zenith Zero ZSS-74ML, etc.. that the single-foot Fujis are fine for what I'm looking to do.
Brandon Khoo:
Bice, I'd be hesitant to go past about PE3 for this.
Warwick Joyce:
Brice, if you are still considering single foot guides I would recommend a combination of both double and single. Run the stripper and next guide as doubles and the rest single. I think the only advantage is weight, and if you are building a slower action blank it would be better to save on weight otherwise you will add to the slow action.
My 2 cents anyway ;)
I think the K series are great for up to 40lb :D
Mark Harris:
As a buyer, I would not want a rod using a single foot guide (be it K or otherwise) for more than a PE2-3 rating. Conceptually, I would just not buy into one.
