Single Foot Boat Guides - Any Available

A while ago I had found some Fuji single foot boat guides - they were the most heavy duty single foots I had seen. I don't recall the part number, but do you guys know if anything like that is available and from who?

The LDB is a closed frame micro runner. Only goes up to a 6. The only thing I would consider as tough enough for a boat guide might be the KB7. You would get the benefit of a very strong, very large foot on a single foot guide. It is not referred to as a boat guide, however.

Thank you Jim! I'll have to look at the KB7 - thinking of them for musky rods actually.

The strongest single foot guide I know of is a FUJI BLBLG, but good luck trying to find them. So, I would suggest you get some BHNOG's and cut one leg off, file smooth, and doctor it up with a little black paint.

I bet they still have all the tooling - I wonder if someone could special order a whole bunch of them from Fuji?

Hey, Marc. I would be willing to bet that your "whole bunch" and Fuji's "whole bunch" are a few zeros apart! ;)

Probably Jim - 1,000 probably wouldn't do it?
