Hi, Have a question about Fuji Guide height.

Hi, I was wondering how the TATSG Titanium Concept SiC and the Single Foot YSG Fuji Spin Guides compare height wise with the same ring size. Say two 20 MM are they the same height ? I would like someone to give a opinion of the TATSG Guides. Thanks and have a great day, Rich.

Custom Tackle I think carries both, would be the perfect place to buy them once you get the answer.

These are the Fuji Y series spinning guide heights from the Fuji (Japan) site:
(weights were listed to compare the two series --- I'll include them where applicable; the Y series weights are for T-YSG guides.)
sz 7J: 14.6 mm (the current site didn't have size 7J; this number is from before)
sz 8LJ: 14.0 mm
sz 8J: 17.6 mm; 0.28 g
sz 10J: 21.7 mm; 0.47 g
sz 12J: 27.6 mm; 0.67 g
sz 16J: 34.2 mm; 1.13 g
sz 20J: 42.2 mm; 1.73 g
sz 25J: 51.0 mm; 2.92 g
sz 30J: 61.0 mm

These are the Fuji T-ATSG series spinning guide heights from the same site:
sz 8J: 14.1 mm; 0.25 g
sz 10J: 21.7 mm; 0.40 g
sz 12J: 26.3 mm; 0.55 g
sz 16J: 34.6 mm; 1.00 g
sz 20J: 43.3 mm; 1.52 g
sz 25J: 50.5 mm; 2.27 g

As you can see, the heights are very similar. Each AT series guide is lighter than the equivalent Y series guide (titanium frame).

I bought the T-ATSG's for a project of my own, but haven't wrapped the rod yet. I like their sleek appearance and they seem as sturdy as the Y series guides.
