These rings have similar material lining as the Fuji pattern BNHG, but do not need the
shock liner being a more advanced pattern, thus are lighter, allowing the blank to
recover from compression when casting quicker than a rod fitted with the older
BNHG pattern rings.
They are ideal for rebuilding older glass and semicarbon rods, where the cost of
Zirconium carbide rings is not justified, or where the budget does not allow the
additional expense. The use of the single leg variant rings at the tip of the blank
allows even quicker recovery, and greater distance for the same power input
from the caster.

These are the single leg variants mentioned above, and can be combined in a set
similar to this:
10(tip), 10,10,10,12,16(single leg) 20,25,30(trileg). The first of the size 10s can
be a flyrod ring to bring the level down to that of the tip ring.
Pattern BOG size 10. £1-25 each. These rings are used to bring the ring level down to that of the
Fuji and Zircon tip rings.

Zirconium Carbide guides
The centres of these guides are made from Zirconium Carbide, used
in nuclear reactors as a lining for its hardness and reliability.
Tougher and lighter than aluminium oxide, the lighter design
enables more of the latent performance to be extracted
from any rod blank. A typical performance increase is between
5% and 20%. At 200 yards, that is an extra 40 yards
for no effort, IF youre good enough!!
If you are a visitor to my workshop, I can demonstrate the advantage of
the ZrC over AlOx rod rings.
They are THE choice for anyone using superbraids.

Using this pattern of rings, together with our computer
predicted ring spacing and Diode-laser ring alignment
method means that anglers using our Custom rod
building services have a distinct advantage over
the one suits all build found on proprietary
surf rods. With ease of use, greater distance
available, and better bait presentation along
with fewer crack-offs and overruns, it is up to the
user to decide which is the most important of
these personally I give them equal value.
A good analogy is to compare Formula type racing cars
with stock cars in a race. The stock car is tougher, but
stands little chance against the performance off the start
line. If they both hit a wall, the core of the formula car
survives, although the wheels fall off; the stock car hitting
at the same speed is a total wreck, although the wheels
could probably be re-used.
Now think about a rod blank with these lightweight modern
rings, and the same power blank equipped with the out of
the ark shock-lined rings. As Rolf Harris says, can you see it yet?
