Who offers the smallest ceramic ring double foot guides available? Re: Low frame double foot guides

The lowest that come to mind are discontinued. They are Fuji DHG's. They were a saltwater guide with a fairly heavy chrome frame and an aluminum oxide ring set in a nylon shock ring. They basically sat with the bottom of the OD of the ring a few centimeters off the blank. I have used them as a bumper guide on spiral wrapped builds. As for anything contemporary, I don't have the foggiest idea who makes the lowest frame guides. I would imagine one could bend the frame and feet out to bring the ring closer to the blank.

Both Fuji KW and Kigan ZD come in a size 5.0. The 5.0 Fuji only come in a titanium frame. Not sure about Seaguide, cannot get on their site at the moment.

Thanks for the responses guys I had thought of bending the legs, but was afraid it might compromise ring to frame integrity. Purpose is indeed for a bumper guide. Not sure a single foot wrapped extra securely might not be strong enough. 7ft. heavy mag bass rated for 2 oz., 25lb. line. Re: Low frame double foot guides

On the original article, bending the frame and legs to bring the ring down to the blank, is mentioned as the thing to do. Re: Low frame double foot guides

The original article on the simple spiral in RodMaker magazine. It talked about bumper guide modification. Re: Low frame double foot guides

Spencer, if you can provide me with the issue info I'll order it from Tom. Don't mean to be a pain. I have the guides CD, but don't see it there. I will check again. Thanks, Lynn Re: Low frame double foot guides
