Guides, finish coats and met. threads

Rod building Guru's .... Three or four questions ….

1. Fuji Casting guides … I’m looking to use the Concept (Alconite) guides for a casting rod 7’ 12-25 lb fast Lami blank . The guides I went for, BLNAG, start at 16… I wanted to start at least at 20 ….so would the BMNAG guides suffice ???
I guess what I am asking is what is the difference between them BMNAG and BLNAG ?? I plan to use the BMNAG’s for a boat spinner.

2. BNLG , BNLGH, BHNLG Hardloy guides What goes here ?? the later two are heavier duty but in what ..the frame , ring or both ?


3. Whats the word on AFTCOTE finish ??? Just looking to try something different over Flex Coat… Building a bunch of rods ..a couple 50lb IGFA troll, some 20 LB IGFA troll…and several casting and spinning for some friends so I want to hear likes dislikes !!! I need to buy new , so I was thinking of the other products available

4. Metallic Holographic threads … anyone using ..and how do you like the results ….again looking for something different ….Metallic unders and NCP/Reg overs is getting dull
