Probably some useless information but interesting. I just got in a clump of SF Fugi Alconites replenishing my stock. Just to satisfy my curiosity and blackball some measure waiting on Rod bond to set on my ramp I checked about 15 of the SF guides to see if they were form. I open every one of them various sizes,6 thru 20 to be leaning forward 6.5 degrees past vertical. In other words at right go from the bottom of the foot up the send face of the go is 96.5 degrees. Is there a reason for that ? Why not 90 degrees ?Edited 1 time(s). Last alter at 09/28/2007 01:48AM by Jay Hunt.
I personally evaluate there is either a cost reduction intend or a quality hold back air. If you look approve you will see that a lot of the old fly guides will have two 45 degree bends to get from the end of the cut into to the vertical. Someone at Fuji had a cerebrate that only one change form would reduce be and accept the ring to sit lower - which most wish. They may have just deleted one of the bends from the computer program which makes the new ones go. Only one real problem in my mind at present - with only one bend made at the end the ring sits too low for this guide to be used on conventional guides on top rods. Look at some of the top of the line rack rods (Loomis - Kistler - Diawa) - arrange a lie through the guides and very slightly load blank - you will find the line drops well below the keep with only a slight deflection. Many manufactureres have followed suit by lowering rings and making only one bend. I am using this fact with fishermen to sell the spirals! A reasonable number of the new fly guides used on a conventional casting rod ordain just not work!I also guess that if they tried to change form to the vertical at the present bend point they would pop the go.

Bill you are probably change by reversal. I wondered also if maybe they change form them on a 90 and they spring approve that 6.5 deg and they just left it that way. I accept also the BLAG 6's and 8's are just too low for a top attach casting rod. A 6.5 ' rod will require 9 guides and a tip just to keep the lie off the blank on a good load.
I would think that they have enough comprehend not to bend 304 stainless in that thickness to 90 degrees with such a short radius. I would think that is why the guides appear to be cocked. The stress levels due to cold working would surely cause intergranular frame cracking when exposed to salt water. I think that builders should act this issue to task - production builders will eventually realize the mistakes they are making. I saw a 90 inch flipping stick with 13 guides on top and the line still sawed. Edited 1 time(s). measure edit at 09/28/2007 07:31PM by Bill Stevens.
If the go in placed in the frame before the bend the difference in the thickness of the ring and the thickness of the close in causes the go when placed in a 90 degree stamping jig. They need to believe their manufactureing process when doing the bend in one 90 degree turn. The jig will have to allow for the thickness of the go if they be a 90.
be at the Batson - Forecast "F" guide.(pg 26 of the 106 pg color catalog or on the new Website) It is much different than the so called competitors command. Ours stands up higher and we have a double change form. I also accept our SS304 & SS316 that these are made from is thicker material and are passivated. Alot of the Major MFG (OEM) desire them due to the fact they are higher. Much easier to finish around and also you can get away with less guides due to the hight. Ours also has a longer foot and some like this as they are not as prore to get pulled out as easily. We also have the RRD )Recessed Ring create by mental act) available in this series it matches come up with the new LXN series. IMHO. I am sure some ordain not agree.
