Fuji LR Frames??

Guys,
I just received some Fuji CLRLG Guides and I was putting them away and thought these don't feel (weight wise) the same as the previous lot I got. Under inspection I noticed the frame construction was not as thick and different shaped feet and also only the Fuji name stamped on and no size? Are Fuji changing their manufacturing process to cheaper? I assume so seeing a lot of their product has already moved into china? Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

Ross.

Not sure - you could contact Donnie or Paul at Angler's Resources and ask. But a thinner and lighter frame is not necessarily "cheaper." Most guides are terribly overbuilt for the job they have to do. I would have loved to have had lighter and more flexible LRLG guides back when I was using a bunch of them. This might be an improvement.
