Question about Fuji TKTTG ...
Posted by: didier stephan (---.33.93.79.rev.sfr.net)

Hello .

I wonder if someone could help me finding weight of those TKTTG guide ?
TKTTG#4.5 and 3.5 and 3 if those last one exist ?

In my book , i have some few TKTSG weight :
TKTSG#3 = 0.0306 g ( 30.6 mg) =0.001079 OZ
TKTSG#3.5 =0.045 g ( 45mg) =0.001587 OZ
TKTSG#4 = 0.054 g (54 mg) = 0.001905 OZ
TKTSG#4.5 = 0.061 g (61 mg ) = 0.002152 OZ

TKTSG#6 = 0.137 g (137 mg ) =0.004833 OZ

I have found those TKTTG weight :

TKTTG#4 = 0. 044 g ( 44 mg ) = 0.001552 OZ

TKTTG#5.5 = 0.100 g ( 100 mg ) = 0.003527 OZ

And this one TKBTG :
TKBTG#5 = 0.103 g (103 mg )= 0.003633 OZ


With those micro guide , do Torzite worth it ?

Thank for the input .

Didier .

T-KTTG 3 weight 0,027g
T-KTTG 3.5 weight 0,038g
T2-KTTG 3,5 weight 0,041
T2-KTTG 4 weight 0,050g
T-KTTG 4,5 weight 0,065g
T-KTTG 5,5 weight 0,095g

T-KTSG 4 weight 0,053g (S ring)
T-KTSG 4,5 weight 0,066g (S ring)
T-KTSG 5 weight 0,083g (S ring)
T-KTSG 5,5 weight 0,105g (S ring)
T-KTSG 6 weight 0,132g (S ring)

My weighing device is not super accurate, but I hope I helped you.
I weighed 10 pieces of each size and divided by 10.
I can weigh other sizes if you need.


Torzite is always worth using if you use expensive PE braids.

TORZITE® is lighter but it is also polished to a higher level and it has more resiliency than SiC (withstands more compression before failure). At micro sizes, the real weight advantages come from the frame material rather than the ring material.

Robert, I sent you 3 emails the past few days. The last one just came back as 'undeliverable'. Is your email still active?

My email is g______n@aol.com

Thanks.
