K-FRAMES?
 

On concept guide version rods are k-frames used for runners and is the stripper guide wrapped backwards?

Yes but some switch to different runners too. It up to you.

No do not reverse any of the k guides with tilted frames.

Thanks. My next concoction will be a GSB1201L tipped 3" to a #11 tip and 3" from butt. Overall approx 9'6"

Three from tip is a lot. What's your intended app?

This combo cut has been done with great reviews from a couple of our club members. Rivers End tackle has done this modification. It tightens up the tip to throw larger eels and riggies w/o the feeling of overloading the tip and still retains the suplpleness to throw 6a Bomber and redfins. Another nitch combo that keeps us experimenting. I was thinking of 3 K-frames transitions and N frames #10 for runners.

Thats surprising. Nice to have that input from your friends!

Assuming the gathering guide is a 30 , thats pretty typical. Maybe 5 size 10,s?
