Kigan question for Alex

Alex,

Are you using the new Kigans in a revolver fashion or building only on top? Just curios as the only way I will build is spiral.

Thanks,
Tom

Personally I would consider omitting the ZDH5.5 just. because I think you will get a weird angle. The ZDh5 and the ZD5s will spiral the same way any guide would. There is nothing different that would cause them not to work. The ZD 5 may be a better all around choice and would do well. Actually I think you would really like the low profile they offer. They certainly would do much better than single foots for durability wrapping around the rod and offer weight loss from larger guides.

You will have to experiment with the best set up for your desired spiral. There are several different spirals - so some depends too on how you run yours.
