Guides on st-croix musky rods

Hi all,
I have a question about the st croix factory musky rods...
When you look at the legend tournament musky rods, they have the fuji K casting guides on them but they are some sort of "heavy duty" versions that don't seem to be available for small rod builders... What I mean is that the frames are more heavy duty than the regular ones.
I know that with the normal fuji casting guides you have the "light" frames (eg ELNSG) and the "medium" frames (eg EMNSG) but for the K guides I can't seem to find a heavier version...

I suspect the same thing with the new legend elite musky rods with the titanium torzite casting guides... I haven't seen the rods but on the pictures I have seen it seems that the titanium frames are more heavy duty than the normal ones (and I guess they should be for musky rods!)

Anyone knows where to get these guides?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Jeroen, Belgium

I replaced one on a blue Legend Tournament a few years ago. As I recall, I called St.Croix for details.
It was a Fuji Alconite with a stainless frame. Mudhole matched it up for me.

There is no "heavy" series K guide we know of.

It could be that I am mistaking...
If that is the case I apologize!
I just thought that these musky rods had "heavier" guides!...
Thanks guys!

Just did a repair on a LT Musky. Guide was a KWAG.
