Who uses size 3.5 fly guides??

Just got to play around with a size 3.5 ring fly guide.

Now, that this is TINY... Size 4.0 is about a pencil lead ID. 3.5 is a whole lot smaller - looks almost like half the area.

Curious.

Thanks,
Mo

Mo,

Actually, our FTL803-5 and FTL803-6 will take a 3.5/64ths tube tip top! Our old Signature III 5pc 3wt had a 3.5 tip as well.
I know of a few of the blank companies who have some blanks/rods with that size tip.

Josh - I think Mo means the new Fuji LSG "GUNSMOKE — S4™ STAINLESS STEEL FRAME Fly Guides" that comes all the way down to #3.5. If they would only come in titanium frames too...

Mo,

So sorry (:~) The guides you mention work well on some of the spin rods called "Longcast" I have used them on float rods with great success.
