First, here's how to understand what the Fuji guide code means:

1.what is the difference between them BMNAG and BLNAG ??
|
THe MN's are heavier. What blank are you building on, and how hard are you on your tackle? The last rod I wrapped was a Calstar 800L, which I used Titanium guides on, buthere are no Titanium MN's, only LN's. What I had to do is use the LN's for teh smaller guides, and ICMNSG's for the stripper (20) & the tip top. Ther is nothing wrong with doing that at all.

See the above link. The BNLG & the BNLGH has the same frame, bt the H has a thicker ring. The BHNLG has a heavier ring & a heavier frame.

3. Whats the word on AFTCOTE finish ???
|
Good stuff, but it takes a long time to set up. It finishes Rubbery hard, which gives it excellent flexibility properties. I was using it on all my guide wraps last year, before I switched to Glass Coat because of the timeit took to set up. I was wrapping rods a day or 2 before I needed them to go fishing. I actually preferred Aftcote, but I think I'm going to be sticking to GC now, as it has done a good job itself resisting cracking on my personal rods.

4. Metallic Holographic threads … anyone using ..and how do you like the results ….
|
It's a pain in the a$$ to use for underwraps. YOu have to be very carefulwith it as it will not lay flat against the previous turn of thread like Nylon/NCP does. I like how it looks, but used in Moderation. I have used it for underwraps on 3 rods, but those were "old" & I've changed my likes/dislikes since. Try it yourself, and see if you like how it looks.
