Can someone tell me what the difference is in these two, in reading the description it sounds like they are the same, reason i am asking is I messed up and ordered the LRV6 for an upcoming build. Does the L mean Low. Thank you. Keith Langford Re: Fuji RV6 vs LRV6, Whats the Difference

Keith,
Check out Anglers Rsrc on left for Fuji catalogue. L = low Re: Fuji RV6 vs LRV6, Whats the Difference

The LRV series are similar to the height of KW guides, and were designed to be used as casting/running guides on surf rods and other saltwater rods. The RV6 is 12.9 mm high and was specifically designed as a stripper guide for most KR casting rods. It is quite different from the LRV6, which is 8.6 mm high and was designed as a running guide.

Thank you Norman, could it be used on a 10 ft surf rod maybe, plan on building one of those in the future, probably a 4500 series spinning reel. Re: Fuji RV6 vs LRV6, Whats the Difference

Think of the LRV as a reverse LN of the past. LN, and LRV are lighter framed guides than the KW. For surf rod builds, I would stick with KW but LRV as runners on a spinning rod would withstand the forces just fine and provide a really unique look on the project. LRV is a top-of-the-line choice on bass and inshore rods of any power where a double foot guide is needed, and it's a true K-Series guide with double-slope tangle-free design.

Jim, I know you are putting together a new updated Anglers Resource catalog, so I hope you realize the heights given in the past catalog for the LRV guides are incorrect. I noticed the LRV heights are correct in your height compassion chart. So I assume you know about this error in the old catalog, but this is just to make sure.

Yes, Norm. We noticed. Fixed. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
