The last 2 beach rods were a combo of singles and double ( stripper guide) . KL 25, K 16 AND K 10' TO BMGAT 12 TIP. This one I'm thinking outside the box. It will be a good lesson for me. I didn't need to do a lock wrap on the K runners but don't know if the KL-H needs a lock wrap.

guides

I have adopted the practice of always using a lock wrap on single foot guides, it does not take that much extra work and I do not have to repair a pulled guide,even though the new designs have an altered foot decigns that look like they would be pretty secure. I do mainly surf oriented rods and no matter how much I try to inform the user on the blanks' use there are always those that push the envelope. For my personal stuff, I experiment. I do have several customers that I have recommended using a hand line for fishing.or stick with the old lami 120 15m
