Go with the KW guides.

Try 30-20-12-8888, or 25-16-10-8888. You could also switch over to the single foot KT for runners. Use a tip one size up.
thank you for the response. Now as far as DOUBLE VS SINGLE Foot Guides. Is there really a positive or negative with either?

Will Single foot Guides as my runners give the rod better action than the Double foots??

Just trying to figure out why double and why single before choosing. I have done my research and read about the NGC and COF but like I said I like small guides.. hehe
