Would someone be so kind as to point me to a picture and maybe the source for them?

Thanks in advance

IF that wasn't enough....[www.rodbuilding.org]

And finally: [www.rodbuilding.org]

I've had a set of these on a SW Spinning rod I used myself all year (the only rod I used which is pretty sad), they are more than strong enough for me. But as Steve G. pointed out, they are not as strong as teh ones Batson makes. Stan McClean confirmed this last month when he played with both of them in a side by side comparison.

Thanks everyone

According to the pictures they look very similar to the Batson's. Is this correct?

Steve, I guess I need to have at least one 2.5 so I can see it and touch it. Thanks

Email me your address.
I will send you one and also a 2mm
If you like, I can also include a Batson 2.5mm for you to compare to.
I also have some Batson 2mm’s, but not that I can spare.

Actually in these sizes the Batson’s are bent closer to a 90 degree angle then the Fiji’s
The Fuji foot is longer then the Batson’s
The Batson’s frame is a bit more beefy, giving the guides more strength
The metal on the Batson’s is also harder, they are much tougher to bend then the Fuji’s
The Fuji’s also seen to have higher carbon content in them making them easier to pick up with magnets

I think that Batson measures the inside of the ring for their guide dimensions and Fuji the out side
The Fuji 2mm guides inside dimension is actually closer to 1.22 mm. Which is why if you have read some of my previous posts, you may have noticed me referring to them as 1.2mm Micro’s
