Selection of the Ready-Made KR Guide Sets
Here you will find pre-assembled guide sets that are fully built according to the Fuji KR Concept. There is no need to configure anything – simply choose the specifications of your rod, and the matching guide set will be displayed.
How the selection works
ULTRALIGHT (0.5–8 g) · LIGHT (5–25 g) · MEDIUM (10–75 g) · HEAVY (20–140 g)
From 6'0" to 10'6" (The number of running guides adjusts automatically to the length.)
Titan Natural or Titan Black with SI3N4 inserts.
What is the KR Concept?
The Fuji KR Concept is an evolution of the New Guide Concept (NGC), specifically developed for use with braided lines. It combines the advantages of the NGC with modern insights to optimize the performance of fishing rods.
Core principles of the KR Concept:
Use of high-frame, smaller rings:
Instead of larger rings, the KR Concept relies on smaller rings with higher frames. This construction allows for faster line control and reduces the overall weight of the rod.
“Rapid Choke” principle:
By enabling faster line control, the point where the line runs close to the blank (choke point) is moved closer to the reel seat. This leads to more efficient power transfer and improves casting performance.
Tangle-Free Design:
The K-Series rings of the KR Concept feature a special design that reduces tangles during casting. This allows for a smoother fishing experience.
Adaptability:
The KR Concept is not exclusively designed for micro rods. It can be used for both traditional and micro rod layouts, providing performance improvements in both cases.
Advantages of the KR Concept over the traditional NGC:
Increased sensitivity: Due to the lighter construction and optimized line management, the angler feels subtle bites better.
Improved balance: The reduction of weight at the tip of the rod leads to a more balanced feel, reducing angler fatigue.
Greater casting distance and precision: The efficient line management minimizes friction and allows for longer and more precise casts.
Overall, the Fuji KR Concept represents a significant advancement in rod building technology, offering anglers improved performance and a more enjoyable fishing experience.
