From the first ceramic guide, introduced by Fuji over 38 years ago, to the new wave of concept guides and tops, there is no doubt that these innovations have paved the way for new and better ways to use guides. The Concept Guides and tops introduced by Fuji have shown that rod performance relies on much more than the blank alone. Guides and Tops are just as integral a part of fishing as any other component. Fuji's concept components allow a rod to have increased sensitivity, accuracy, and even improved weight balance without sacrificing strength and durability.
