The old rule of thumb when using mono was the first or stripping guide needed to be close to the diameter of your reel spool. That is why most stripping guides were 30 to 60 mm Otherwise your casts were not as efficient or smooth. I imagine you could still use the K guides with a small diameter stripping guide but it may not be the most efficient when using mono and you need distance.
