The Pacific Bay Single Foot Fly Guides (Black Chrome) in size BSFG are designed for fly rod builders looking for lightweight, minimalist guides that reduce weight and bulk on the rod. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
– Material: Black chrome finish for corrosion resistance and a sleek look.
– Design: Single-foot guides (no winding check/base) for reduced weight and simplicity.
– Size: BSFG (likely a small size, suitable for lighter fly rods or as stripper guides).
– Application: Ideal for ultralight fly rods, tenkara rods, or as intermediate/running guides.
Common Uses:
– Fly Rods: Often used on 2-5 weight rods.
– Tenkara Rods: Popular for their minimalist design.
– Stripper Guides: Larger single-foot guides (e.g., BSFG-8 or BSFG-10) can serve as the first guide.
Sizing Note:
– Pacific Bay’s numbering system may vary, but BSFG likely refers to a smaller guide (e.g., 4mm–6mm ring diameter). Check manufacturer specs for exact dimensions.
Installation Tips:
– Use flexible thread (e.g., nylon) and thin epoxy for wrapping.
– Space guides closer together on fast-action rods for better line control.
If you need the exact inner diameter or recommended rod weights for BSFG, consult Pacific Bay’s catalog or retailer listings. Let me know if you’d help with guide spacing or build recommendations!
