The guides I'm interested in are the XOHG, XOMG, and XOG guides in both Ti (Zeus line) and 316 SS (Hero line) with the RSOL ring, and no one in the US sells them. These are very similar to the Fuji KLH, KLM, and KB/KT guides, but at a lower cost. The Seaguide Ti-XBG is similar in style to the American Tackle Ti Typoon ring lock (NIRL). They do not have the forward sloping ring like the Fuji KW guides. Seaguide does make a KW-like guides which is the XQHG model but it does not come in a TI frame. The TIXQG casting is also KW-like with a titanium frame, but only in sizes 16 - 6. The RSOL (silicon nitride) ring looks great, very thin and light almost like a torzite ring, I am looking forward to trying it; it just came out in 2015 so it is brand new. Seaguide's LS ring is zirconia, and thus is similar to other zirconia guides and AT nanolite (proprietary zirconia blend). The major problem with so far with Seaguide is that there are very few distributors and they do not carry many of the models available. Seaguide will be at the ICRBE this year, if you are going you can look at them there. I have attached the Seaguide link, you can look at their catalog and price list from the link.
