Hey guys so I was just on mudhole (feel like I live on that website the last few days haha) and I was looking at guides. Anyways I was wondering what the letters in all the different guide names stand for? For example BKWAG Double-Foot Spinning Guides or CLNAG Casting Guides. It maybe simple and I am missing something but any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Re: Quick question about guides

B-Black Frame, KW-Frame Style, AG-Alconite Guide (Ring Material). Not sure if the frames have a specific names but T preceeding means Titanium, SG = SIC, and TG = Torzite. C could be for Casting, Concept, or for no particular reason. Not sure on that one but rest of it is easy to follow. Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 09/12/2014 02:33AM by Dennis Hamilton.

Here's a primer:
[anglersresource.net] BLNAG B = Black LN = Light N Frame A = Alconite G = Guide LNAG Polished Stainless Frame LN = Light N Frame A = Alconite G = Guide And I believe the CLNAG had a chrome finish. And BMNAG is Black Medium N frame. Perhaps Jim Ising will correct any mistakes. Don Becker Re: Quick question about guides

If you go to MFG websites, they will provide some info about how to read guides. Some Mfg are more clear than others.
Here's some Fuji info: [anglersresource.net] American Tackle: [www.americantackle.us] There isn't really a standard nomenclature that all mfg follow, over time each company adopted new ways of representing new guide styles and materials as the technologies evolved. There is also no monetary benefit for companies to adopt a standard. If they did, it would be easier for you to compare one mfg's guide with another; they would have to compete more on price instead of attempting to beguile you into purchasing their products with cool sounding technical terms. In some cases, it's not a clandestine plot, it's simply one company trademarking their product or they may hold a patent on a process or material. Re: Quick question about guides
