Fuji Model BLYAG-YAG Alconite Ring S.S. Frame Fly-Casting-Spinning Rod Guides

Y Frame guides are among the highest frames offered by Fuji and as such are used on a vast number of spinning rod layouts where the New Guide Concept suggests the use of a particular height to match a reel’s specifications. The trend toward smaller ring sizes in stripper guides also leads to a Y Frame selection in many cases allowing rod builders to drop down at least one ring size while maintaining needed height. Y Frames feature a lower brace construction that forms a superior “V” shaped metal lower section near the foot that offers exceptional strength for a single foot guide. Y frame reduction trains are often followed by L Frame running guides.

Crossover: Occasionally used on traditional spinning rods calling for size 6 running guides.

ALCONITE RING - Fuji's engineers thought long and hard on how to make aguide lighter and stronger yet keep the cost down. After years of research they came up with Alconite, a special type of ceramic that offers strength, lightness, and durability. In fact Alconite offers 80% greater compression strength and is 20% lighter than Aluminum Oxide. Also, through Fuji's Diamond Polishing, Alconite boasts afinish that is smoother than that of Hardloy®. Fuji engineers were also able to make Alconite the thinnest and lightest ceramic ring available today; even 7% lighter than standard SiC Rings! When combined with the lightweight Concept frame the results are unparalleled ... 35% lighter and up to 50% stronger than ordinary guides.

Stainless Steel Frames come with a Black (BLYAG) or Polished (YAG) Finish.
