Thread: questions on getting new king rod (k-series guide question)

Bryan is correct,after all,the Gulf Stream series was his brain storm as was our catalog venture. If you want a rod built for this season I suggest you call Kathy at the Rod Room (981 6508) or Jeb Brantley AKA pier pest at 334 391 4051.

+1 on Jeb and ask him about a phenix Black Diamond hybrid

in my personal opinion, the best king blanks that they still make are the gator BS596, which is $32, and the lamiglass GLB961M if you like farily noodly rods, which is $95, and the seeker 804 or 806 if you like fast rods, they are both like $100, of course I loathe most graphite, if you don't mind it there is a pacbay blank that is pretty good, don't know what model, but it's bout $130

i already have a builder i just need suggestions on blank and those guides

brother, this is the thought of cathy, me, and a ton of other well known people on k guides. unless you are going to be fishing braid, don't waste the money

i got a gator works pretty good for me

whats the difference between these 2
TKWSG Titanium Concept All-Purpose Guides with Silicon Carbide Ring | mudhole.com

KWAG Double-Foot Spinning Guides | mudhole.com

john has one there for 249 bucks i think with k frames on it ....dont know what kind of blank it is though

The TKWSG guides have titanium frames and silicone carbide rings. Titanium=pretty darn expensive and silicone carbide=fairly expensive. Pretty darn expensive + fairly expensive = really expensive. The KWAG guides have stainless steel frames and alconite rings, costing only a fraction of the cost of the TKWSGs.
