How to Measure Fuji Guides

As the technology has evolved over the years so has the rod guides. Fuji has managed to keep at the forefront of this technology and are always doing their best to keep ahead of the curve. Fuji's Tip Tops and Guides are easily replaced by most tackle shops or can even be done at home. When looking at replacing a Tip Top or guide it is important to ensure that the correct Model and size is used. To measure the size of a Fuji guide the size is calculated by the size of the ceramic insert in the guide. If the ceramic insert has been lost from the guide the ID of the empty hole will give the correct size required. These measurement can sometime vary slightly from Fuji's standard measurements, which are 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 30 & 40(measured in mm).
