Fuji K guides - all hype or real deal?

[Hawker]

Hi just wondering what people's thoughts are on these.

I hear they are supposed to reduce knots around them but do they actually work?

My feeling is that if you don't want knots at all you go the interlines...

WOuld be good to hear some opinions

They seem to work for me. I can not say that i never get tangled but a definite and major reduction may be a better way of putting it. I fish at night a lot and on those cold damp winters nights when the braid tends to stick to the blank or guides and not noticed in the dark that caused the trouble. These guides definitly help reducing my difficulties by a huge amount. As a rod is replaced or rebuilt the "K" series of guides will be on the finished product for me.

Awesome - great thanks :) If they work for you then good enough for me.

Sometimes it is difficult to separate hype from reality, especially coming from the big players.

On a different note I think I might consider getting an interline type of rod one of these days anyway so wont have to worry at all with guide tangles. Problem with interline rods is their exorbitant price :(

Anyhow good to know whether these guides actually work for someone.
