Need some help

On the Sage guide spacing chart they have guide sizes 1/0t, 1t, 12t and so forth. What does the 't' stand for?? ok, I thought, just ignore the 't', but then I saw they also have size 1, without the t. Can anyone help me on this?

Best,
Tore

Tor: Do not have a clue. Altho a possibility "T" may be an acronym for titanium. Manufacturers in their infinite marketing wisdom a lot of times throw around real nebulous items like this. Anyway, do't go by their spacing chart. You put them where they belong. Call or contact any reputable parts house (list on the sidebar) they should be able to choose the right guides for the line weight and the amount you will need for the length. Here is where you begin your trip down the learning curve. You have the builders board Ask them what spine is, ask them about static deflection, ask them about how many guides, and guide size. Since you didn't ask this info in your question, won't comment unless asked. If you want a fishin pole, do exactly as Sage says. If you want optimum distance and performance, here we are. Best of luck whichever path you choose.
