I really like KR rods! Have not made a hybrid KR rod using Fuji KL-H reduction guides with Minima 4F runners. I do either all Minimas or all Fuji. No reason why the hybrid rod should not work well, sound very nice. Glad you like the hook keeper, it's the best I've used. Let us know how you like the Elliot blank.
